Our student org also sent out 3 emails... in rapid succession today... DO NOT EMAIL ME UNLESS YOU HAVE AN INTERVIEW decision for me!

Same thing happened to me!! I feel like I need to put out a PSA.

DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH!!?! AHHHHHHH

 

[slaney]

Nice nails! Wait what happened to tjmaxx? Lol

Thanks! Gotta wear all the fun colors before interviews start and I have to wear boring colors. And I still frequent the TJ Maxx, although Target is bae.

Seems like today has been a mixed bag or rejections, invites, and still a lot of radio silence. Thinking good thoughts for everyone on here!! 🙂

edit: Oh, also explained the concept of wandsite to my non-psychology friend and she is actively hoping for everyone to land their wandsite!! I think we need to recruit outsiders, to make the magic stronger.

For cheap thrills, I recommend Target dollar spot for all your internship stress impulsive purchases.

My friend and I discussed auto sending random emails throughout appic time next year...

I've gotten so #thirsty refreshing my Inbox that I've begun to dual-screen refresh my Junk/Spam folder.

Definitely also bought a metallic gold tassel "to put on my suitcase so I can easily locate it" (despite the plan to only do carry-on, meaning I won't need to "easily locate it").

Agreed. Muggle support is very important!

I'm just letting you know I'm obsessed with the emojis in your signature.

Site: Alaska Psychology Internship Consortium (AK-PIC)
Invite!!!!! (THANK THE UNIVERSE AND ANY AND ALL HIGHER POWERS I finally have more than one interview!)
Method: Mass email (on 12/4, shortly before 3:30 EST) ** edit: it appeared to be a mass email, but there was some consortium site-specific info in the email so dunno if it was actually a mass email? (I'd rather not go into specifics so I don't dox myself)
Interview dates: January 23, 24, 25; oprtional tour of the Nome site on January 26
Staying sane: having more than one interview definitely helps. When I get home I'm gonna continue a Harry Potter movie marathon, recite 90% of the dialogue, and force some hugs on my cats

Also - has anyone heard from Montefiore adult specialization yet?

 

[PsychDreams]

Had my first interview today and it was EXHAUSTING. How am I going to do this again?!

[bigdreamer3]

Does anyone have insider tips about what's going on with BOP sites? They had already notified whether students were eligible or not by this time last year. Some of my sites have an interview notification as early as this Friday...

EDIT: Tell me if I'm good enough!!

You are a bomb-ass applicant and human! You have GOT this!!

edit: idk anything about the BOP sites and whether or not that was a rhetorical 'tell me I'm good enough,' but I'ma give you a REAL, 'you are the ish, you got this, boo' talk anyway.

As I'm sitting here (not so) patiently waiting to hear from Denver Health... (sidenote: has anyone heard from the integrated women's care track)....I receive an email with the subject "Invite Pending"... from GAP. #denveredSOhard.

 

[psych1989]

Congrats!! Do you mind sharing approx. when this email was sent and also whether it appeared to be specific to the child track? I'm still waiting on adult!

4:45pm today and it didn't say anything specific about the child track - sorry I don't have more information!

 

[Spiff333]

I received an invite for the adult track at 4 pm CST today. Otherwise, mine was the same (Dear Colleague)

I'm hoping for that one, too, and also feeling dispirited that it was a mass email. On the other hand... no news is good news. We've seen people who think silence means incoming rejection get invited before... I'm gonna keep hope alive!

I liked and then almost unliked this post when I saw #teamPacey (def #teamDawson over here). Seriously though, Dawson's Creek is effective for managing the interview blues. Good luck with the rest of your sites!

Darn! Okay thank you, and congrats!!

I would like to echo this sentiment.

Oh my goodness, I was about to do mock interviews so internship was about as on the mind as it can get. Bad Time2Track. Bad.
