When you get emails... Am I the only one who sees the top of the message on my phone... and auto reaction is:

Dear Applicant: Rejection
Dear Name: Acceptance

And then gets really disregulated when it's not what you expect?

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. 🙁

Same! Congrats!
 
Forgive me format is probably off:

CMHI-FL
Reject
Date notified: 12/1/17
Edit: mass email

CPMC
Track- pediatric primary care
Invite
Interview date: Jan 11
Date notified: 12/1/17
Edit: personal email

It’s getting to the point where I went from trying to be as good as my 18 invites friend from last year to IDGAF how about just the 8 or whatever the sweet number of interviews is. I’m actually relieved I don’t have to fly yet...

Posting this again because I received my notification after someone posted here, so they are definitely rolling (at least for today).
They did indicate that alternate interview candidates are waiting to hear if an interview opportunity will open up for them, though I am unclear if this means people have already been notified of their alternate status or if they will notify people of final interview/rejection status after the 7th.

I got the rejection from Colorado Mental Health Institute @ Fort Logan too 🙁 Sadness solidarity.

I am now at 9 rejections, 1 interview, and really starting to freak out. If anyone has any words of encouragement they would be beyond appreciated right now.

*edit to add info for the masterlist: CMHI-FL rejection appears to be a mass email

Yeah my hopes at neuro are killed now as cpmc didn’t offer me an interview for children neuro and I only applied to two neuro tracks.

So I ran into a friend super randomly in the middle of the city. She was telling me how bad some of the sites were when she interviewed last year even though they sounded great on paper. So, try to keep your chin up because who knows! Maybe you have dodged some bullets.
 
Has anyone heard from VA MHS SOM School mental health track? I’ve seen notices for the other tracks but not this one.

Lol 9 is a lot of bullets to dodge, got me feeling like Neo in The Matrix.

Sorry about your let-down at CPMC! Is there any hope of getting a minor neuro rotation or something there?

It sounds like you applied to many I applied to and I am in the 5 rejections boat with you. Let's hope we both get Western Youth. I don't like our odds with the mass email going out yesterday.
Click to expand...

Same! I think we applied to a lot of the same sites and the rejections have been brutal

Neo is awesome, and maybe you’ll get all your invites at the end of the process!

It’s okay thank you, I was on the fence for neuro anyways as I don’t really want to move all over the place for post-doc. I’ll find another way to transfer the info and skills I’ve learned 🙂 when did I become half glass full I don’t know. Must be going crazy.

Nope, nothing. Seems like maybe only Child went out today.
 
Has anyone had invites or rejections for the California Pacific Medical Center: Program Administration Track? I'm waiting on that one...

It’s probably my 2 rejections and no offers today, but I’m feeling all the feels and I love this #forumfam so much

Maybe a dumb question but How does one spot a “bad site” exactly?

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.
Click to expand...

I did! I also got a personal email invite on 11/17.
 
I'm getting anxious here... have many people heard from California Pacific Medical Center about the adult inpatient track? Has anyone received rejections from them for that rotation?
 
Slow internet kills me. I just posted this twice by accident

I’m not sure about that track but my cohort mate got an interview invite on Wednesday for the Neuropsychology track.

Yeah, the town is teeny and in the middle of nowhere. But the training looks terrific and I’ve heard great things from past interns.

Also, anyone here apply to VA Pacific Islands? This is my hypothesized #wandsite so any info on when to expect interviews and when to give up hope would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Not yet - their notification date is 12/8 so we are getting close. I get the feeling you and I applied to many of the same sites 🙂
