They have definitely changed their style of notification this year. Last year everything went out at once. Yours is like the fifth question about the Neuro track. I don’t think they have notified yet. No word here at least.
Our DCT actually suggested a slightly different approach to the "tell me about yourself" question. He said to try to give a response that contains information that is NOT on our CVs and is instead slightly more personal and authentic so that sites can get a sense of who we are as people beyond just what's on our CVs or in our cover letters. In the 2 mock interviews I've done with faculty, both asked this question and I talked about some of the things I wrote about in my autobiographical essay and then linked that to processes that would help me succeed, goals, and how that particular internship site could fulfill thiem. So I both "told something about myself" that went beyond my experiences on my CV and APPI and then explained how that stuff about myself has set me up to thrive at each site. Just another approach to think about 🙂
Yes, definitely this! My morning brain did not connect that that might not be in everyone's cover letter.
My name was nowhere on it and they offered one date option? Looks Mass to me.
Hang in there; I'm in a similar boat! I applied to mostly UCCs (due early Nov) and my other sites have deadlines that haven't come up yet, so I have heard NOTHING. But it weirdly helps to not see the name of my sites pop up, since I'm not hearing! And our time will come....
I don't care. I'm going to continue picturing you struggling to hoist a T Rex arm so you can cram your giant dinosaur thermometer in his armpit to see if he has a fever.
Congrats!!!!
That exquisite wine is long gone. I know you're supposed to age it to maximize the flavor, but I couldn't resist! 😛
A friend from last year told me to just book one ways and wait it out until you know for sure what your travel is going to look like. She ended canceling some interviews after hearing from better sites that she wanted more. That's just her advice though.
I've heard Southwest is the best because they don't charge you for a cancellation and credit you. Plus they have a rewards program (other airlines do too). I applied for the Alaska Airline credit card and applied for the Southwest card so I could get bonuses and points. I need to rack them up in order to bring my kids home LOL
Thank you! I'm actually finding cheaper flights for some airlines other than Southwest. Also, just figured out how to search in incognito mode so they don't raise prices, but everyone else probably already knew about that. I'm looking at booking one-ways, and then also doing Amtrak or Greyhound for some neighboring states if the interviews are close together. I don't know when to start booking though considering I still haven't heard from 9 sites.
I stand corrected - I was working off poor memory.
Ya- I am planning to do a mix of different airlines due to the geographical locations some interviews are in. There doesn't appear to be a straightforward way of doing it (all one airline, cheapest airline, etc.). I've barely started looking at airlines so I may not know too much at this point.
We should commiserate... me too
that is seriously rude....sorry about the sliver of hope they gave you and please ENJOY THE WEATHERRRRRRR
NOT okay, site, not okay.
That is awful! What a terrible emotional rollercoaster, I'm so sorry. I hope you're able to pull up some mindfulness strength and enjoy the wonderful weather.
Congrats!!!!
Do you mind sharing their interview dates, since this was one that didn't have them listed on APPIC? I applied to a different track here, so I'm just curious what tentative dates they may offer 🙂
Or invites!!! See that reframe?!
