2018-2019 APPIC Internship Interview Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I feel like out of all the weeks this one will be the most ups and downs for many of us.

You got it!!! Congratulations!!!! [emoji322]
Thank you, friend!! 🙂 I'm not going to lie, the first paragraph of the email looks like it could also definitely be the first paragraph of a rejection email, so naturally, I've now convinced myself they've made a terrible mistake and will be emailing me shortly to be like "ooooops, my bad."

Exhibit A of just how much this process effs with rational, logical thought.

Ugh this one hurt
(I'm assuming from your screenname that you that DBT is your orientation.) I had a friend interview at Jacobi two years ago. Evidently they announced at the beginning of the interview, "If you are CBT or DBT-oriented, you are in the wrong place!" I'm sure you will find a happy, DBT-welcoming home, Linehanwannabe, that can offer you way more than Jacobi can in that area. 🙂

Unfortunately, Pace isn't the only site past their deadline [emoji53] Can you imagine sites prolonging the wait past 12/15? I have a feeling this might happen... -sigh-

at least it informs applicants that those sites lack insight. They are the ones that decided on their own notification dates. If only there was a rule that after a certain number of days past the notication date that all applicants who applied to those sites automatically match...

Anyone still waiting to hear from NYU Rusk? I haven't got an interview or a rejection. Hoping that's a good sign....
 
Has anyone heard from Westchester Jewish Community Services? Their deadline is today, and I thought I saw someone post about it earlier in the forum, but I don't see it on the front page listing... maybe I dreamt that other people got an invite?
I haven't heard from either but I also saw that someone had gotten a phone call invite from them. I am still holding out for something positive - hoping for good things for both of us 🙂

Off-topic: Anybody got any home remedies for anxiety or anything like that?

Anxiety is always on-topic. Let’s be real. [emoji30]Okay, so a few things - I got one of those little essential oil diffusers and some essential oil & I set it up and have it in my room. It’s calming. Petting my dog is also calming. Hallmark Christmas movies (bonus if it has snow and all the romance...saw a perfect one last night), candles, sounds silly but sitting on the floor to literally ground myself and use one of those mindfulness apps. Now it’s finally cooler out, so going for a walk, checking out the Christmas lights...all great distractions & help me remember there is more to life than internship apps. Hallmark makes me believe that if i move to a new city for internship, I’ll meet this charming man who will sweep me off my feet and take me on sleigh rides and we’ll fall in love while baking cookies... ok, now I’m delusional, but it’s a great mental escape.

Real question is what was the perfect one you watched last night? Always looking for good Hallmark movie suggestions because agreed - great mental escape!

I hear ya - it's def a good problem to have, AND super stressful to do back-to-back interview days. I have 3 over the next 6 weeks: Philly-Minneapolis, Chicago-New Haven (though I have to fly into Hartford), and Duke-Richmond (which is a more manageable 2.5 hour drive). Literally my only strategy is to do a lot of coping ahead and pray to the Universe that things don't fall apart because this whole thing will come crashing down if it does. :dead:

edit: Also, congrats!! 🙂 I'm also trying to practice a lot of gratitude for this "problem" and be excited that I get to visit a number of cool places. It helps dampen the anxiety a bit.

I chose the 15th but I think they aren't finalizing the schedule until Dec. 22nd so we will see! I am super excited for this one. I would be happy with either date since I will be in that area for another interview. Maybe we will cross paths? Let's see once it hits Dec. 22!

I "binged" the second season of The Crown over the last couple of days, got outside and did some exploring, attended a fun holiday event, etc... I'm excellent at finding ways to all but completely eradicate my anxiety....Now, if I could just manage to reduce anxiety while also being academically productive... I almost said, "if I can just figure out a way to reduce anxiety while also being academically productive," but let's be real, I know the how, as HappyPhDHopeful outlined, as well. It's the acceptance/willingness piece that seems to be so sorely lacking...

Maybe a site has a "show the client what not to do by way of massive avoidance" rotation! #imminentlyqualified 😛
