This process is terrible.
Anyone else analyzing the rejections they've received? So far, I've been able to find a reason for each. It's hard not to feel demoralized at this stage in the process but I'm holding out hope and reminding myself that there are a lot of sites that have yet to send invitations.
It is a super anxiety-producing process... I've honestly been avoiding trying to come up with reasons why I might have been rejected from a site. I mean, generally-speaking, sites just tend to be super competitive. Most sites reject 60-70% of applicants without an interview. That can't be easy because most of us are pretty damn qualified.
 
I hear you. I feel like I am just waiting and I was not given a reason for the one I received. Have the reasons been constructive or helpful?
[I think] I was rejected for reasons I should have been attuned to before I applied... things like not meeting hours requirements (doctoral not including master's hours - assuming they would consider the cumulative total), training model not matching, and really just not being a great fit- although, I'm probably still a decent fit. I also willingly ignored the "great fit" advice for a few sites I really liked.

Did you just get this? I guess I'm asking whether they are rolling them out in waves today.

I also was assuming that my terminal masters hours and doctoral would be considered as a cumulative total, and was not told otherwise by my faculty. We shall see what happens! I feel this is just a crazy waiting game.. got to survive till December 15th

There are two sites that sent out interviews that I have not heard from yet. One of the sites sends out invitations on a rolling basis, but the other site doesn't specify that on the website. I haven't seen any rejection posts for either site. The anxious part of me is saying this is a bad sign and I should expect a rejection. Thoughts on this? If I don't heat from either of the sites by their specified deadline then I will email the directors.
 
Hey there. I see that WPIC is listed as having extended interview invitations on 11/22, but I can't find anyone submitting that information on this thread, only a couple of people saying that they expected an email on 11/22 but hadn't heard yet from WPIC. Just want to double check they actually did send out invites so that I can stop holding their dates. Thanks!

I pretty much count these as rejections. Makes the actual rejection email a little easier.

Some people choose to send me the information over private message. These are all included in the updates.

Have TIRR Herman rehab psych and neuropsych track invites gone out yet?

I actually asked TD's via email before I applied about this... 2 to 3 didn't reply, 1 said no, another said no but apply anyway if you think you're a good fit, and the majority said yes, that they do consider terminal masters in determining cut offs. I hope that helps!
 
Has anyone heard from Mass General Adult track? It looks like all the other tracks went out a while ago so my hope is dwindling...

Thanks!
