@Psychchick09 -
I get the sense that we applied to a lot of the same places and are having eerily similar outcomes. So, to give you some hope- I just got an invite for the Hines VA after thinking it was too late! Hang in there 🙂

What track for the Hines VA if you don’t mind my asking? I’m waiting on neuropsychology there.

On the outlook platform my school email is on, there's this folder called "clutter" and, considering I have no idea how things get designated to this folder, I get excited each and every time I see I have a message. It's such a tease.
 
Has anyone heard from McLean's Adolescent Psychopathology track? Seeing that their adult track invites went out is putting me on edge!

Mine is general track. I heard that someone else in my program who's neuro got an invite too, but I don't know when she received it. It seems as though the invites are truly rolling, if that helps! Good luck.
 
Anyone who has heard an invite or rejection for the Miami VA, any of you apply to the Forensic track? And congrats to those of you with invites! I went to Miami for undergrad, it can be a fun place.

We can be anxious together! I feel like you and I applied to similar sites!

Because I'm a giant creeper (one of my many spiritual gifts, really), I went back and looked at your post history (I KNOW, I'M A WEIRDO) and yes! It seems we have a fair amount of overlap! Hope we get to meet on one of those interviews (assuming you're not like totes freaked out given this admission of my creeper-ness) 🙂

Haha! If I had that gift, I probably would've done the same already too. Hopefully one of our interviews do line up!

I was worried so I emailed and it was confirmed that my response went through and they let me know I would (hopefully) hear early next week sometime with the details.

Thank you! And especially thank you for not making me feel like a giant weirdo for worrying.

Did anyone who completed the Doodle poll from UT Health Northeast get an email confirmation or more information or anything? I'm sure it's probably fine, but I'm just minorly worried that my response didn't go through...

I'm feeling this way about another site that used doodle, argh

It does me. I just pretend it never existed. The real test will be when I get the OFFICIAL rejections for these sites...that will be the real test of my denial and avoidance.

Also, anyone else find this day quieter than expected? I thought for sure there'd be more activity today.

No way... I'm at 5 rejections in ONE DAY. Channeling my inner Mindy Warrior.

I know, a little too quiet. I'm kinda hoping if I stop refreshing my email I will return to 3 invited and 4 rejections or something along those lines. Ok withholding until I finish hypnosis at 4pm... Let's see how long I last!

I'm sorry to hear that! Best of luck finding your #wandsite

Thanks, I appreciate it. After 5 rejections in a row, I'm just losing hope. It has been a bit more of a challenge, I suppose, as my boyfriend and I are both going through this process together, and elected to not do the couples match. Our interviews at this point are in different parts of the country, which is an added stress.

You have to respond by calling and making an appointment with the secretary. Think this might have already been part of the interview for those of us who hate phone calls :grumpy:

I'm sorry, that's so rough! I really hope it works out. If not - and I hope it doesn't end up this way to be clear! - you'd hopefully only be apart for a year. Long distance is hard but I think it's doable with an end date in sight.

Congrats! I also received an invite. For those still waiting the TD asked that we respond with our rsvp by 12/7 because they would send further invites to those on an alternate list 🙂.

Some good adaptive denial before some radical acceptance!

Ugh! I highlight my rejections in bright red because I’m a masochist like that.

Me too...maybe this is not a good thing? I think when I first highlight the red captures my anger cause I'm like "THERE! TAKE THAT!", but then when I look back later I feel sad. 🙁

You make a very good point! Thanks so much for the support, I really appreciate it! I don't know what I would do without you all, ForumFam, you're helping me stay as sane as possible through all of this!
 
Hey has anybody else heard from Lucile Packard Children's at Stanford? Somebody posted about hearing way back on 11/17 but I haven't heard anything from anyone else since so was curious? And obviously just trying to deny the forthcoming rejection haha.
 
Anyone heard from Texas A&M UCC? They listed 12/1 as their notification date on the APPIC directory... not anxious ATALLORANYTHING

Not to be depressing, but I've been waiting on them too, and I'm pretty well assuming a rejection at this point. In past years they've given interviews in mid-November and rejections in early December, around the 9th. I'm deeply disappointed about this one, but am working on moving that to resigned...
