2014-2015 APPIC (internship) interview thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Probably sent out the easy rejections quickly (not enough hours, obvious mistakes in cover letter, etc.). I imagine you're in some sucky limbo. I know that feeling.
Actually, I'm not sure about that because they sent out emails to individuals on the wait list as well. Had anyone actually gotten an invite to Emory SOM (apart from the neuro track)?
 
Any other SDNers apply to WVU Health Science Center (in Charleston)? Since they do an open house (by invitation--isn't that a "closed house"?) I sent an email to Dr. Linton expressing my interest in their site and in attending one of the open houses. I know it's a combination of best fit and expressed interest in going for a visit. Anyway, I sent that application in early, on Nov. 20th because I was done with it and emailed Dr. Linton the same day. I haven't heard anything back from him. Has anyone else emailed to ask to attend an open house? If so, did you hear back? Should I email him again? It's been 3 weeks. I expected at least a confirmation of the email or something, since they seem so friendly!
I also am waiting to hear from Dr. Linton. He responded to my initial email and asked me to rank order my preferences for the dates of their open houses, but I haven't heard anything since.
 
Anyone hear about a date confirmation from the Village? I can imagine it's confusing for them due to the email mess up that happened. I just wanna make sure my voicemail message didn't get lost.

Rejection? via email

"I regret to inform you that, due to program reorganization, we will not be able to participate in the Match to select interns for the 2015-2016 training year."

I wonder what happened? Definitely the strangest rejection. Oh well, on to the next one.

I emailed him but did not get any response. I emailed early this week, but had submitted my application mid-Nov.

Last year I kept a spreadsheet with my all of my invites and confirmed dates, rejections, and sites I'm waiting on with potential interview dates. This year I've just been deleting sites that reject me off my spreadsheet completely, and it's made me feel 20x better throughout this process. There is something very cathartic about physically deleting them from my consciousness. I don't have to look at them anymore or think about them anymore. It's pretty amazing how quickly I've forgotten about them too.

Seriously, couldn't there have been a better time? My plan is to swim from hotel to site to show I'm a fighter. 🙂
Haha! UCSF still has power I think!! SF general does for sure!

I received a confirmation e-mail this morning, so hopefully you'll get yours soon!

Hi everyone,

Another shot in the dark of trying to solve an interview conflict...
Does anyone have an interview at Allegheny General during one of the later dates of the month (1/23 or 1/30) and the capability of switching to the interview day on 1/9? You would win my eternal gratitude and many cookies (your choice!). Please PM me if you think this might be possible!
 
Rejection - Roger's Memorial Hospital. Mass email (unpersonalized). CBT / OCD track.

Not going to lie this one hurt. How is it that I thought places I was a perfect fit at rejected me and my reach programs all gave me interviews.

I'm stinging from this one too...it was a perfect fit! I don't know what some of these sites want!
 
Hey all, question:

Did anybody receive a rejection from Baruch College Counseling Center, or do they interview everybody that applies? I have heard different things from different folks, and am trying to figure out how many students they are actually interviewing.
 
I am also trying to resolve a conflict with interviews (and cost).
Anyone interviewing at Brown (Alpert Medical School of Brown University Clinical Psychology Training Consortium),
Health Psychology/Behavioral Medicine track, interested in changing interview dates. I am scheduled for Jan 6th and would save me a ton of money, and stress to interview on January 15th. Please PM me if possible.

I also am waiting to hear from Dr. Linton. He responded to my initial email and asked me to rank order my preferences for the dates of their open houses, but I haven't heard anything since.

Do you think it would be ok to email him again since I never heard back?
