Anyone receive a rejection from the Central Arkansas VA? I saw that invites went out, but not rejections, and the notification date in APPIC is 12/4.
Which leads me to my next question: are the notification dates in APPIC for interviews or for any either interview or rejection. I believe I read somewhere that the date listed is not an absolute "set in stone" for sites.
They are supposed to notify you of your status by the date listed in the APPIC directory. From the Match News email on 11/29:
[2] INTERVIEW NOTIFICATION
We would like to remind applicants and Training Directors about the APPIC Match Policy regarding interview notification. This policy is designed to make the interview notification and scheduling process considerably easier and less stressful for applicants.
Match Policy #4 states:
4. For Phase I of the Match, internship programs that conduct
on-site or telephone interviews must make a reasonable effort
to notify every applicant who submits a complete set of
application materials as to his/her interview status.
a. Sites that conduct open houses to which all applicants are
invited and conduct no other interviews are exempt from this
interview notification requirement (this process should be
clearly stated in the APPIC Directory Online and/or sites'
publicity materials).
b. Notification of interview status for Phase I of the Match
must occur no later than the interview notification date
that appears in the program's APPIC Directory Online listing
and/or other publicity materials, and may be communicated
via e-mail, telephone, regular mail (to be received no later
than the interview notification date), or other means.
c. For Phase II of the Match, notification of interview status
is not required.
