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.

 

[NeuroLady]

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.

 

[glowstick]

Yeah, there are a few sites I tried to make fit in a way that probably just didn't work. I never learn.

same!

 

[NeuroLady]

Yeah, there are a few sites I tried to make fit in a way that probably just didn't work. I never learn.

Still think it was worth the gamble! Just maybe with a few less sites.

 

[BrainLove]

I really wish that there was only one day that they sent out all of the emails on. It's the waiting and not knowing that is the worst!

Same here, but a rejection.
Honestly, this feels better than not knowing! 1 down, 16 to go.

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.

Also waiting on adult health track for Rush. Haven't heard anything!

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.

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!

 

[PsyTrees]

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!
