2018-2019 APPIC Internship Interview Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I wouldn't lose hope yet for Mailman! I heard a whole week after someone had initially posted on the forum, so it seems like rolling invites occur at their site.
I'm tryin to not lose hope until I get a rejection letter. It's been almost a solid week - and RADIO SILENCE all around... AHHHHHHH

:troll:🤣🤣🤣
 
It would seem that my powers worked for some of you! So congrats to all who heard something positive from a site! Nothing on my end...but I do have cookies, so I think we all know who the real winner is.

I was just thinking that it worked. Can you leave again?

I'm actually thinking of going for a walk because I literally cannot even just sitting in my house and "working from home." I need to charge my phone a bit first...refreshing your email and these forums every 4 minutes while wandering around Target really drains the battery life.

Current intern here. I recall that I received a whole bunch of rejections first, then one invite in early December, then more rejections, before FINALLY receiving a number of invites somewhere between 12/10 and 12/24. It's still early.

I SO needed to hear this! I am sitting on one rejection and still waiting to hear from 15 sites. Thank you for your words of encouragement!
 
A neuro person in my cohort got an interview there! I also applied, but haven't heard anything.

I'm waiting to hear back from the neuro/ASD track. I feel like I haven't seen anything except for the neuro track. Which track are you applying for?

It's alright mama - breathe! Sucks to get rejects first but it's far from over. :pigeon:

I heard for Child Clinical/Ped Health track on 11/21, but invites might still be rolling in.
 
Well I feel better. We're all just waiting and watching. Waiting and Watching...

Ugh. 😵😵😵😵😵😵😵:whoa:
Which track did you apply too? I applied to pediatric health... I am eager to hear about this one since I used to work right next to Texas Childrens and I loved their staff. Plus I loved working and living in the medical center (sometimes). They have great food and awesome rail which they built around Houston AFTER I moved.

I applied to the Neuro/ASD track, which I haven't seen pop up, but i have seen the regular Neuro track pop up at least once I think.
 
Literally sleeping to pass time and avoid thinking about this.

So the APPIC directory says the Medical College of Georgia/Charlie Norwood VA's tentative interview date is Dec 11 and that they have dates in December and January. I know nobody has heard yet.... last I checked, but shouldn't they send their invites out? Those December dates are coming up fast.

someone in my lab last year didn’t get an interview to a site she had done a practicum at and really thought she’d get an interview at. She didn’t, and when she was chatting with a former supervisor later they were like “XX, you were qualified, but you don’t even want to stay in the area!” I think sometimes sites really go based on fit and how likely they think you’ll rank them higher too. They want to match the first time around as badly as we do!
 
It’s almost close of business though, I mean, can’t you just go and come back after 5pm? 🙂
Okay, so I had to catch up on some email (anyone else marking everything that's not internship-related as "read" and then forgetting to go back and actually read the emails until the poor non-internship-related person emails you again like "hey what's your deal, man, please respond"? No? Just me?) but I AM LEAVING AGAIN FOR A WAAAAAAALK. Hear that, Universe? I'm gonna be away(ish) again and REALLY would like some good news (AN INVITE, I WANT AN INVITE) for me and the people on here. Got that? GOT THAT?! 😵😵😵
 
Marcus Autism Center
Assessment
Rejection
Personal email at 4:50pm.

So hard to reconcile the inner conflict between the feeling of failure over not getting this interview and gratitude over still being in the running at other amazing sites out there.
