Guess I got rejected... and this was one of my top sites :(
 
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait a second: they CALLED you to tell you you WERE NOT being invited to interview and THEN GAVE REASONS?? Lord have mercy, I need to lay down on your behalf. That is....wow. So sorry, friend :(

haha yeahhhh. I asked clarifying question about whether it was "because of the USAjobs app" (even though I was fairly certain I passed that) or because of "other reasons"? The response was that I was a part of a subgroup of applicants, and because it was a very competitive year I would not be interviewed.

I also understand and appreciate their intent, but it was rough.

This is seriously brutal
If you didn’t breakdown then and there that’s a win and I’m proud of you

I did my masters internship at Carruth, and I absolutely loved the psychologists there! Plus, they just built a new building a couple years ago, so the interns get their own new, shiny offices. Which after doing an office version of musical chairs as a practicum student, is a nice incentive.
Ohhhh this makes me really excited to hear back from them! Thank you :)
 
So I was #ultimatedenvered today...

I got the invite to fill out usajobs application from BOP Ft Worth early this month, filled it out, and received the notification I passed on Monday 12/4 (yayayay!).
Got a call from "Ft Worth, TX" this morning (IT WAS HAPPENING), and I was greeted with the fact that I will not be offered an interview. They even gave reasons.

That is just BRUTAL. So sorry you had to go through that!!

Congrats! I got a call too! I was in a lab meeting and since it came up as “unknown number” I let it go to voicemail, which I now regret!! They said interview days are Jan 8th and 12th.

On the phone with a hotel employee in Minneapolis, asking about the "light rail train":
Me: "But, like, does it work if it snows?"
Hotel guy: "....Does what work?"
Me: "The light rail train."
Hotel guy: "....Uh, yes. Yes it does."

Apparently, asking if the train still runs in the snow in Minneapolis is a dumb question. #themoreyouknow

-How I'm Staying Sane: I'm talking to former students/ interns a lot at my practicum site. They are really supportive and seem to want to share all the advice they wish they had received prior to going through this process themselves. Also, lots of popcorn and chocolate.

So, today, I got rejected from two places (both posted about before: Lurie and St. John's), in very quick succession. I then went to the store, and in the parking lot on my way back to my car, found two dollars on the ground. Coincidence or recompense (at a grad student pay grade)?

Hoooooooooly cow that sounds SO painful. What a horrendous punch in the gut that must've been, I am so sorry they did that to you! Sending so many comforting/positive vibes your way.

Good luck to everyone. I hope we all match!

A few people in my cohort who applied to UWMC have already heard back and received invites. I hope yours is just coming late!
 
You are killing me with this gif from my favorite show!! :rofl:

Speaking of our Lord and Savior, the Queen herself, I'm adding to my internship interview playlist and right now it's just 37 Beyonce songs and Rise Up by Andra Day hahahaa

Soooooo is there a way this playlist can be shared? Because it sounds pretty awesome....:headphone:

I received an invite via personal email yesterday, but I am adult/neuro so I am not sure about peds. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I received an invite via personal email from Rusk this afternoon at 4 pm EST. I'm neuro/adult track, and I received the email more than 24 hours after the first person posted yesterday about their Rusk invite. It looks like they're staying consistent with previous years and taking a few days to send out their invites! Good luck!!!

I hope you realize, that you saying that will only make my rejection hurt more when it eventually comes...

If you're referring to University of Washingtob School of Medicine then yes, I received a personal email for the general adult track on oNvember 21. If not, disregard and good luck!
 
I have a question for yalll. I'm currently at a VA as a practicum student and they are opening up their first ever internship program to which I applied. It would be absolutely INSANE if they did not invite me since I am there right now and the TD there has great rapport with me. Problem is since it's a brand new site- the site is trying to get APA on contingency accreditation by May. If that goes through that's fine since graduating from a place that's APA on contingency means you walk away saying you went to an APA site. My issue is if it does not get accredited. This is a screenshot of what they said we are eligible for if that happens. I ultimately want a post doc in neuro and this would be shoe in technically. What do you guys think/would you take this? (I am geographically restricted with 7 rejections out of 16 sites so far, no invites).

Thank you so much #forumfam!!!
