2016-2017 APPIC Internship Interview Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I'm trying to decide how long before I send Howard an email also. I've received two notifications today from sites that had 12/15 as their notification deadline.
I just sent an e-mail to my advisor. She said that they're probably really behind and we might not hear from them until Monday

All the same for the neuropsychology track! I think they also had a 1/20 date too, but I'm not completely sure.

Did anyone get a rejection from Applewood Centers? They are the last site I need to hear from, and I know they have called some folks for invites already so I assume I am getting a rejection, but I figured it would have come by now.

Officially heard from all of my sites. Five interviews, all scheduled, no conflicts, flights booked, and perfectly content. Good luck everyone!

OMG Sharp is going to send me into a tailspin! I'm starting to think some of these late notifying sites enjoy torturing us. Also--Sharp had THE earliest deadline (Oct 31). They should have their **** together by now!

I think some wait to make sure they have enough people scheduled to interview before they reject. Someone posted a few days ago that sites are required to provide some feedback as to your status (i.e., to invite or reject) this year, but I don't have a citation for that. (Although all of my sites did reject or invite.)

It's on the APPIC webpage under FAQs for Training Directors :)

Sharp Healthcare
Invite!!!
12/16
Mass email at 10:57 PST, which was approximately 2AM EST for me.
Interview dates 1/19, 1/20, 1/23, 1/24

I'm very glad I stayed up waiting because interview dates are assigned first come first served. I find it a bit unfair when sites do this. Another CA site sent their invite really late and I was already in bed when it arrived so by the time I responded the next morning, only one date was left that I could not attend. I ended up sorting it out but it is one additional layer of annoyance and stress that makes this process even more difficult!!!

Do you have an idea for a more fair way of assigning dates? My experience was that first come/first served was the way most sites assigned dates but they all had flexibility if you couldn't make it to any of the dates. I actually interviewed at sharp last year and they were fine when I said I couldn't make 2 of the dates offered.
 
Hey...Miami VA notification date has past. I see people have received invitations for interviews, but I have heard nothing. Anyone else in the same boat?

Anyone receive deets on the Yale Child Study Center Interviews yet or know when we can expect some. Since the call it's been crickets....:poke:

They told me on the phone that they would be sending a letter by snail mail. Hadn't received it yet as of last Wednesday when I left town but hoping it is waiting for me when I get back home tomorrow!
