I applied to psychodynamic and forensic, and it sounds like different tracks may have different interview days. In the event I get interviews for both, I hope they will let me go on the same day! Do sites normally try to accommodate applicants on this? Does anyone know?

My understanding is no --- as different tracks may have a completely different set of faculty with whom you would meet.
 
I think they definitely will! The director was really nice. He said I could come on the 16th but would prefer that I come on the 10th b/c that's when psychodynamic folks will be there.
 
Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth (Neuro track)
Invite via personal interview received today (11/24)
Interview January 28th (did not give other dates)
 
Invitation to the White River Junction VA. Phone call this afternoon. TD said they were doing calls this week. I assume this means that he wasn't planning on getting them all completed today.
 
University Neuropsychiatric Institute in Salt Lake City
Notification: 11/24 Mass email
Invited to interview
Interview dates offered: January 9,16,23
 
New Jersey VA invitation by phone. TD said he was trying to finish up the schedule before Thanksgiving, so there will probably be more calls Tuesday and Wednesday.
 
Has anyone heard from Henry Ford or Texas Children's for neuro?

I also had Children's National on my list, but it seems as if they are making calls in waves.

Did anyone hear from Massachusetts Mental Health Center/Beth Israel general or PREP track for interview dates other than 12/15? I am just trying to see if they are done with their invites or doing rolling ones.

Also - if in the last year's interview thread it says a site sent out invites on one date, is it safe to assume that they sent out invites only on the date specified, or does it mean it is the first date the site sent out invites? I am guessing it varies by site, but thought I'd ask in case there is any way to reduce this uncertainty/anxiety!

Congrats on all the invites so far!!

While I can't speak on those sites, from the acceptances that I've received thus far, they aren't consistent with last year's dates (although not off by more than a week or two). Some sites sent them earlier last year; alternately, some sites sent rejections later last year.
 
University of Illinois Chicago (Department of Psychiatry at the University of Illinois at Chicago), Child track invitation via personalized e-mail on 11/24.

It was a weird email, though, right? It said that you could still be ranked by them even if you don't interview?

Yep, mine said the same thing. So, I plan on writing them a letter of interest and ranking them anyway... but I'll probably rank them very low.

I have the same question. It looks like the current invitation was for 12/15, but they indicated 2 other interview dates in the application. I am hoping that they will send invitations for those dates in the days/weeks ahead. I'm not sure where I got this, but I have 12/5 written down as their "notify by" date. This site is so high on my list and such a great fit that I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to hear...

They gave me one date - the 12th - and alluded to my application in response to the Forensic track. But then they said I would have the opportunity to learn more about all 3 tracks that day and meet the faculty with those tracks. I can't imagine they'd make you go and come back like 2 days later. It sounds to me like they'll cover more than one in a day if needed? Would you interpret it that same way?

I also received a personal call for the Child/Family track today. Interview dates offered were 12/8,12/19, 1/5, 1/9, 1/12 and 1/23.
 
I guess I should throw this in cause I didn't see anyone with UofT Health Science Center San Antonio with the Forensic track. The interview was offered for 12/12 in a personalized email sent today.

Utah State University CAPS
interview notice via e-mail 11/24
phone interviews to be scheduled

The email message was personalized with name but from the body of the message I assume it was a mass e-mail. There was not a specific track just general. Hope this helps and thanks for the good luck🙂
 
Invitation to interview at Rush University (Child Track) received 11/24 by mass e-mail. Interview dates include: January 8, 9, 15, 16, 22.
 
Didn't review all the posts from today, but I heard from UAB child track - invite via mass email, 12/12 or 1/9. Hope I can get the date I want!
 
Got one to MUSC/Charleston Consortium also! Behavioral Medicine track 🙂 Heard today via personal email from the TD, interview dates are 12/8, 12/12, 12/15, 1/5, 1/9, 1/10, 1/12, 1/16, 1/19, 1/23, 1/24, and 1/26.
 
Updated

Two things

First, I've had numerous invites that were received after the initial one went out. My opinion is don't assume you have been rejected until you hear otherwise! You definitely still have a chance even if a site is posted on the main list!!!

Second, as a friendly reminder, if possible, please send all of the information requested in my original post (including if the site doesn't have tracks). I am not familiar with the specifics of every site and some people simply forget to include the track (or other info) while others intentionally don't specify because there aren't tracks. This means I have to bug every person to double check, haha :poke:
