2018-2019 APPIC Internship Interview Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
The incessant refreshing struggle train is so real today ya'all.... 🙄

EDIT: Was just #denvered by a phone number in Florida (location of a site I'm waiting to hear from) AND received an email from APA about a membership survey....😵

This morning I was #denvered by an Alabama phone number. My heart still skipped a beat even though I was rejected from UAB. Momentarily I thought...maybe they’re calling to offer me a second chance?! Jk.

Similar thing happened to me: got a call from New Haven, CT and got all dysregulated - even though I already received an invitation to Yale! My first thought was, "oh God, they realized they made a terrible mistake and are rescinding their offer!!!" But no, it's just Cigna reminding me my health coverage is about to expire and to pick a new plan.
 
Anyone interviewing at the Durham VA next Tuesday the 12th? #bingobango?

Anyone else feel like it's been pretty quiet today? Pure radio silence over here!
Yuuuup. One of my sites is supposed to notify today and I've been on edge for hours...constantly reminding myself that it's not even 1 pm EST! There's still plenty of time (although that's a double-edged sword for sure).

I had 6 sites that I thought I would likely hear from on Friday. I heard from 1 of them, and another 1 yesterday... nothing so far today and it's very unnerving.

Sanity? Only waiting on 2 more sites and then the waiting game is over! First interview on Fri. Hope this is a good week for everyone!


Congrats! If you don't mind, what date did you choose? I'll be there on the 10th
 
Has anyone been rejected by John D Dingell VA/ Hershey- Penn State yet? I know invites have already gone out but I am just trying to see if rejections have or if they are holding off on those for some twisted reason!

Sooo this is random but I have an interview in Wichita, Kansas. How are people navigating booking hotels? Affordable hotels...affordable is the key word there! I only need it for one night and I'd prefer to not stay in a super shady hotel where I feel like I should learn kung fu prior to staying there.

:whoa:My ninja moves...involve awkwardly shuffling away

I would look at AirBNB. They usually have pretty affordable options in non-shady places.
 
Has anyone gotten rejections from Baylor/Texas Children’s or Lurie yet? I think people already got interviews.

I applied to Baylor, but I haven't seen my track pop up yet. Friend applied to Lurie, no rejection/interview on her end so far either. We continue to sit and wait.

I have been using expedia to book my hotels and have found some pretty good deals/options.

Waiting on this for the Geropsychology track...

*Checking of email intensifies*

Seriously though, I'm like one of those lab rats smashing the bar down for cocaine in those classic stimulant reinforcement schedule studies. The cocaine of course being that sweet expectation of a site emailing me...

I've been to Wichita before and have several friends from there-- it all seems pretty affordable in terms of hotels. There's a little "downtown" area that's definitely safe. Feel free to PM me, and I can let you know where I stayed/ where I know is okay 🙂

-If & How You’re Staying Sane: Doing SO much better now!! I can't believe they are interviewing me!! I got their voicemail at work and then squealed, ran up and down the hallway, and was jumping up and down in joy. Now if only my heart would stop racing!!!

Oh thank you! I will be doing so shortly. I have an appointment with a student, but I will afterwards!
