They don't send you anything. You just stopped getting any communication from them. Which def sucks
Do you think they do this, to keep a sort of "waitlist" to cover when people decline the offer?

Im not sure actually. When i asked my interviewer, he told me that they have alternates so they keep calling down the list until every position or placement has been filed. So like if you get picked for Denver and you want to decline for a different site, you go back to the bottom of the list and they call others. Which is why they say its not a guarantee that you will get your top pick.Do you think they do this, to keep a sort of "waitlist" to cover when people decline the offer?
Any news....?
I think it's protocol for them to say July just in case anything should happen and the process is delayed. In the past forums, I think they were told Jul as well but found out much earlier. I am hoping that's the case this year. I've been weighing my options and and moving forward as if I never even applied for PHAP. There's definitely other opportunities that I'm trying to keep open. I definitely believe in putting positive vibes and energy into the air, so I'm putting my belief and faith that we have already been matched and we will be getting that call very soon!
I haven't yet. Still on pins and needles every time an unfamiliar number pops up on my phone. The anxiety is real over here on my end lol.Have you gotten a call yet??

ughh, can't even imagine something like that..Well worst case scenario is they started calls/emails but no one on this blog got a spot yet....

I'm hoping so as well @alh601 and I'm sure you'll get a call! So much time has passed that I think we're doubting ourselves. I know I feel the same way, but I reread my notes from the interview and talked to some former PHAPs that helped me prepare and it seems I did well. My interview was on the short side as well. The power of the tongue is everything, so continue to put positivity in the universe and it'll come back tenfold!

The hiring freeze under HHS is really what is holding everything up. I am confident decisions for the most part have been made on who to hire and where they will go. However, the hiring freeze makes it unlikely that we will hear anything until that is fixed. This came directly from a current PHAP...
"There's still a freeze - they haven't told us much other than that they don't have the go ahead from upper management to start making offers...sorry it's not much info!"

It sucks that this cycle is the the class that get hit with the hiring freeze delay but in due time we all will pull through this. =)
I called this morning to ask some questions regarding the hiring freeze. Specifically, if the freeze continues until October would they push back the start date of the positions or just scrap this class of PHAP and start new next year. Unfortunately, the woman I spoke to on the phone didn't have any answers. She said they are still in the process of selecting host sites and associates to match. She didn't have any updates on the freeze that I wouldn't be able to google onto internet and find myself. I guess we will all have to be patient and cross our fingers that this freeze will be lifted soon! Sending positive vibes everyones way I know how stressful this all is.
Did they ask you for your name? cause that freaked me out lol
This wait is so brutal. I accepted my Teach For America acceptance because I couldn't not work, so if I get in I'll have to decline and one of you deserving individuals will get another chance at hope!
Hello all! I've been stalking this page for a few weeks now. I just made a call to PHAP and they specifically told me that they would be informing applicants in the month of July.
Hi all,
This is my first post to the page. Just wanted to update all you lovely humans and let you know the PHAP website information changed. It now says we will be matched with host sites in August and we should be receiving the calls afterwards.
CDC - Application Process - Become a Host Site - PHAP
For the host sites page, it's always said that. But they've been matching us with host sites since early May.This is all quite stressful, I've been constantly refreshing this page... this waiting game is making it tough to balance things. I did go the PHAP website, however, and it appears that nothing has changed on the timeline on the page that reads "How Do I Apply?" for applicants; still says Mid-June-August:
CDC - Application Process - Become an Associate - PHAP
what was posted before was for host sites, but it is unclear if their webpage always read like that- hopefully not, for our sake! This says August
CDC - Application Process - Become a Host Site - PHAP
so that's a little heartening!
Same here. I will have to start looking into another options if I don't hear from them soon. This wait is just too much....Im really trying to hold out because this wait is a lot to deal with and this would be an opportunity of a lifetime if chosen. If we haven't heard anything by July 15th then Ill def have to start reconsidering. I wish they would even email the people who interviewed just to give us an update or just explain whats going on now. Even if its just to say we will be calling within the next two weeks. Im def applying for more federal/regular jobs and other fellowships just in case i don't get a call after all. We have def grown closer after this long wait
This wait is brutal! Hopefully, they start calling next week. If I don't hear back by mid-July, I'd have to decline as well.Just curious... how did everyone hear about PHAP?
And is anyone looking into PHS?
Good Morning. I am a 2015 PHAP and we just received word that PHAP has officially received the authorization to begin the hiring process for your class! Good Luck to you all! I know the wait is horrible, but it is almost over!

Keep in mind it's "technically" a holiday weekend though! So I would assume after the 4thOMG! Now its gonna get real. Im def about to keep positive now. Im assuming they will start calling on Monday then. *crosses fingers*
I told my husband and his response was oh cool lol they don't get it!Hearing that news is like hearing Santa Claus is real lol. But seriously, I'm so excited and relieved! We can all enjoy this long weekend a little bit more.
Sidenote: I wish my family and friends understood how excited I am about this news lol. You guys understand
Thank you!Good Morning. I am a 2015 PHAP and we just received word that PHAP has officially received the authorization to begin the hiring process for your class! Good Luck to you all! I know the wait is horrible, but it is almost over!
