Heyyyy has anyone heard from Austin (Central Texas) VA, Atlanta VA, or Long Beach VA?

I am still waiting to hear from Atlanta and Long Beach, also

 

[slaney]

Popping on here to say that I've been refreshing in solidarity (and, for me at least, in vain since I haven't heard anything) with you all today! But now I'm going on a walk, so I hope my powers are still in #bingobango shape and good news for all is quick to follow! 🙂

[Research&Cats]

Did anyone with an invitation to Southwest Consortium ever get a follow-up email, like their primary invitation mentioned?

I have been wondering this as well. I replied to the initial invitation pretty soon after receiving and have heard nothing thus far.

I got rejected too... guess I spoke this one into existence. Oops.

 

[ellabelle46]

1 rejection this week and then complete silence otherwise. I'm also not a fan of the rolling invites/rejections thing, like let me know that you've rejected me please? Otherwise I'm sitting here expecting a bunch of rejections on the 15th.

Heyyyy has anyone heard from Austin (Central Texas) VA, Atlanta VA, or Long Beach VA?

Nothing from Austin or any other central TX VAs.

Just a heads up since I got both the interview & apparent rejection to this site <--my manic laugh. I clarified with the coordinator and I thankfully got the rejection in error.

Date of Notification: 11/30/17 3:17pm EST
How You Were Notified: via mass email (an extremely polite email that didn't actually use the word "rejection")

What a wonderful, massive relief! I can't imagine how horrifying it must've been to get both emails...I think I've actually had that nightmare. Congrats on the invite!

 

[drxa]

So I know there were a few other people waiting for notifications from Colorado MHI Fort Logan today...anyone hear anything?? I know it's only ~4:30 in Denver right now buuuut I've spent all day being antsy.

[slaney]

I feel like I need to prepare for tomorrow which I'm thinking might be a big day: it's both a Friday AND December 1, when several sites had notification deadlines. Too bad I don't have a wine bra....

Did anyone include a neuro-report in the application for this site? I'm for some reason a month later looking at the website and it says assessment case summary. I think I may have misread this as just attach a neuro report. Guess that one's out for me.

Mine was a brief cognitive screen + psychological testing - my clinical coordinator actually told me to use that one because the inclusion of the cognitive assessment is more comprehensive. Neuro reports count as assessment and are pretty dang comprehensive, don't give up hope yet!

Waiting on this one as well...
Yes this site had instructions on how to format the case and assessment summaries and said something like "we realize this probably isn't a material you already have on hand"...

Did they offer you any other dates? Someone posted earlier for the same track and listed December dates. I applied to the adolescent track and am just curious what their dates may be given that they didn't have them listed on APPIC.

 

[coffeepsyched]

What sites are you all using to book multi-city flights? I'm trying to find good prices and sites that tell me if I should book now or wait, etc. Any suggestions?

skyscanner website is a great site to find the cheapest flights using multi-cities and/or different airlines
also the app "hopper" can be helpful as a reference for tracking trends in increasing/decreasing prices (but doesn't include all airlines)

 

[OpalinePhoenix]

Def bring him/her on interviews! Conversation starter for sure.

I've brought her to conferences before. No one ever notices she's there...any ideas on what other people are doing with their hairy child? Boarding is too expensive. Hmmm I have to be creative with this one!

Please do this, and come to all the interviews I'm on. We can have puppy play dates and it will make. my. life. Weigh in: should I bring my anxious older dog who is calm and placid and well-behaved, OR my full-size-but-still-a-puppy-in-spirit young dog who just wants to lick your face?

Seriously, though, I would bet people in your department would like to watch your animals!

I use student universe when traveling. You Can usually get decent student discounts on flights/hotels through them.

Was it someone saying they were looking for donations for Veterans? I got one of those today (while at my VA prac!) and jumped a mile at the unfamiliar area code.

Does anyone know if the Oklahoma Health Consortium is still supposed to notify applicants today? Originally it said they would notify by November 30th, 2017 but then they extended their application deadline to November 22nd, 2017. Has anyone heard anything?
