Yes, I actually just heard.

Site name: Boston Children's Hospital/ Harvard Medical
Invite or rejection: Rejection
Notification: 12/8 email ("dear applicant")
Staying sane: Wasn't expecting an invite here, so that wasn't too harsh. But this process is a constant cycle of acceptance, denial, pity, repeat.

I'm sorry! I am expecting a rejection from them as well, though it appears I was not in the same batch of responses that you received so maybe there is still some hope. This process is pretty awful all around - hoping for some great invites for you from sites that recognize how great you are!

Do you know which Harvard sites sent their invites?

I know that the Mass Gen tracks and at least one more Harvard-affiliate have sent invites. Maybe the front page has the full updates? I have only been tracking on Boston Children's out of selfishness. 🙂

@tvc @projessorx (have no idea if that "tagging" will work)
Hoping you both hear good news! I have confidence in my (and really all of our) ability to effectively cope with whatever the outcome might be; it's just the painstakingly slow process involved in whittling down what that outcome might be.

Maybe my rejection too will follow by end of the day.

Hey you never know! I was convinced Albany had rejected me--then a few weeks after they sent out some invites, I got an invite. You just never know. Hang in there- the waiting sucks, but we'll get through it!

i find myself singing cindy lou who's "where are you Christmas" every day... except the word 'Christmas' is replaced by both 'email' and 'sanity'

I will never hear this song the same again. Thank you for that.

Happy Friday, #forumfam! Shout out to everyone else who is still waiting to hear from the majority of their sites. Next week is going to be a gem! 😵

I did a few days ago. Not sure if this has been posted but here's the info:

- Denver Health

Good luck to everyone still waiting!

Has anyone else heard from University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Psychiatry - Adult Track? I've seen at least one person post their invite, but typically a few people post and I haven't seen any rejections? Trying to get a feel with what's going on with this one!

I haven't heard from this one either! Fingers crossed!

Got that one too 🙁 Very misleading indeed!

The mass email myself and others got from UCSD/SD VA was not site specific, if that helps at all!

Other years have received invites on different days, depending on focus. Who was the email from? One of the DCTs or someone else?

12 our of 24 rejections and obviously no invites apparently I am the most garbage of all candidates! I can’t do phase I. I have officially given up and am expeciting no interviews and anxiously awaiting phase II

I’ll take any email that will tell me if I got an interview or not at this point. Did the rest of you get them at 1 est too?
Click to expand...
Well I saw someone else post that a mass rejection email went out earlier, so maybe you're on hold for a minute. Keep the faith - it ain't over till it's over!!!!!
 
Echoing others that you are not a garbage candidate! You've already come really far! This process is SO rough on our emotions and sense of accomplishment. I know a 50% rejection rate is crushing (same boat here) on top of lack of invitations, but you still have a lot of places to hear from! Waaaay back in the thread someone pointed out that notifications from each site are all independent of each other - just because you've received rejections so far doesn't mean all the rest will be. Keeping my fingers crossed for you, and I can't wait to hear when you have good news!

*Edit: somehow I messed up and quoted the wrong post - working on fixing it!
*Edit 2: This was supposed to be to @Neurophile210 (But also applicable anyone feeling down about their rejection numbers!)

Hi Lovely Forum People!!!

I just wanted to reiterate how supportive and awesome everyone is on here. 🙂

Secondly, I have a neurotic question for yall. Although I am very proud of my essays, my first "batch" of submissions had a few typos. There also were a few percentile errors in the psych eval I attached (My supervisor filled in the tables and I stupidly did not check them!) Any who, I received a few interview invitations from this batch, and I am wondering how closely selection committees review our essays and supplemental materials later on in the process. I have heard the essays are regarded as a mechanism for getting your foot in the door and that the interview is what really counts. What have you guys heard? I guess I just want to stop obsessing over minor errors lol.

I’ve heard it’s not a huge deal / they are as tired while reading them as we were while writing them and may 1) not care 2) not even notice

Kind of depends. Are you applying for an assessment type of track? And, how big and/or numerous were the typos/mistakes?
 
Northeast Oklahoma Psychology Internship Program (NOPIP)
Track: Tulsa Center for Child Psychology
Rejection :WOMP WOMP:
Personalized Email 12/8 2pm EST

Umm... so the subject line of this email was "Internship Interview Request" but then the content was a rejection... did they forget to change the subject line when switching from interview offers to rejections? I got whiplash from that email!

I found two in my essays. One sentence was missing an "a" and another sentence said "metal health" hahaha. The assessment thing bothered me as I am a pretty strong report writer and I have 40+ integrative reports, but no, I am not applying to any assessment tracks.

I wouldn't worry about it at all. This is pretty minimal regardless.
