Yes, I got an invitation from the Aurora MHC child track on 12/9.
I also had an invite from MUSC- I applied to a few tracks, one of which was child.

When did you get the MUSC invite?

 

[AbnormalPsych]

I just got a phone call interview invite from San Francisco VA, so indeed don't give up until you get a rejection!!!

Congrats. Maybe they heard our cries on here last night and wanted to save us from baked goods. Do you know what dates are left? / Any other information you can share? How are they scheduling? Still calling peeps?

[Karmasnotab]

Phone call from Sutter Center for Psychiatry (part of Central California Psychology Internship Consortium). This was apparently a screening interview for those selected and they will send out official invites in the next few days. Interview days will be Wednesday and Thursday January 13th and 14th.

 

[TherapizeThis]

Has anybody received an invite from Pacific U.'s Psychology Clinic in Oregon?

 

[Soon2BDr.]

Rejection Georgia Tech UCC
Mass email
3 miniature chocolate chip (up for grabs in the break room--couldn't justify taking more than 3)

Also-
Email from Suffolk University apologizing for being human and accidentally forgetting to BCC rejectees instead of CCing them in the mass emails (10 per email)

I get it--I'm sure that as hard as I looked there was a mistake in my application somewhere. Bound to be a few mixups in this process.

 

[BagelLover]

I'm still waiting on USC CHLA!

Based on last year's forum, CHLA notified on the Thursday of this week...perhaps we'll hear from them tomorrow?

 

[psychforlife0402]

-Site: SLCVAHCS (Salt Lake City VA)
-Date notified: 12/10/14
-Invite or rejection: Rejection
-Track: No track
-How notified: Mass email
-Cookies: cookies, pizza, ice cream, trashy TV, I need it all right about now... this one crushed me 😢

Ditto. I thought their rejection letter was one of the nicer ones (I'm becoming a connoisseur). AND the TD sent a follow-up email suggesting other VA's to apply to. Man, I hate it when they are so nice.

 

[FLfuture]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has heard from Ann Arbor VA. In their brochure, they state that they "may" contact highly competitive applicants to remind them of their open house. I was not sure if they had sent out any reminders. Thanks!

 

[DoctorPsychOut]

I heard about MUSC on November 26th

[psychrat]

It seems like a lot of us applied to American Lake VA. I wonder if they got swamped this year bc they were in phase ii last year. I am waiting to hear from ten more sites, but a few indicated they wound notify applicants after the 15th.

Not a peep from Ann Arbor. Are people only planning on going if you get a message prior?

Nope, I'm still waiting too. I saw that someone got a rejection on Monday. I haven't heard anything from them...fingers crossed!

 

[dynamicpsyd]

Congrats! Did this just come in tonight?

I'm wondering the same thing!

 

[LAPsyGuy]

Sorry to hear that. What happened? Any words of wisdom from experience for folks with upcoming interviews?

No words of wisdom you haven't heard. Just wasn't ready for a phone interview with a panel of 7 people and a series of 5 questions to be answered in an average of 6 minutes each during a 35 minute interview. The questions were reasonable, but oddly phrased, and I didn't do what I know how in most instances.

Also, don't let one of your top three sites be your first interview of the season.

Sounds brutal. Thanks for sharing. I hate to prolong the suffering, but any chance you recall what the questions were specifically?

Oh Wow! That sounds horrible! That's a really short phone interview...I thought they were usually at least an hour. Did they at least give you a chance to ask them questions?

 

[President_LeslieKnope]

Maine VA notified on the 11th last year. I hope you get good news tomorrow! If you do, I interviewed there last year if you have any questions.

Great to know, thanks so much!!
