Super jealous. I mean if sites wanted me to be "me", I would not match at all ahahahah, I swear a lot- was so proud I didn't even slightly say anything questionable on my phone interview today 😛

I believe someone said that swearing a lot would be a great trait for the VA. I too, swear a lot. And while I rambled, I don't think I said anything too questionable today also. Yay for us!

I mean...most people I know in the field definitely swear and have a sick sense of humor. They are protective factors haha! And yay for us being on our best behavior 😀

Oh mine was personalized as well...I just skimmed over the greeting LOL it was short so I knew it. I have a sneaking suspicion they may have thought I wanted to move there because of family or something? All my research and undergrad was in Houston- raised there. Oh Well...

I would think that’s a positive! More likely to rank them higher? Who knows though

Is there a thread for those looking to switch interview dates?

Specifically-- wondering if anyone could switch Fulton State Hospital.

I am looking to switch my Jan 5th date to the 19th.

Man I expected this but this last few trickling in responses have all been so negative. Really hope I’m not doomed by failing to secure more interviews:/

Shoot, I've been waiting on Texas Women's University... and its almost 5pm. Hopefully they just haven't gotten to all their invites yet since they are doing personal phone calls. Ugh why even do phone calls? They are the worst.

It could just be that the current intern assigned to call me was more on top of things or less busy today 😀

Hopefully! Did they just inform you of your invite in the phone call? Was there trying else to it? Just trying to prepare...

The phone call was an intern who has been assigned to me in case I have questions and that more info is to come in the next day or two from the training director. It probably is just at current interns' pace who I am sure are super busy right now tying things up at the end of a semester. Best wishes, I love love love what they have to offer!!!
 
Is anyone else still waiting on Boston Children's Hospital? I saw they have sent out rejections and invites, but I've still heard nothing and it's after the notification date :/

Thanks! One upside to not having many interviews - I might be able to use the money I was saving for internship travel to go to their open house! (Gotta plan Alaska first though - those flight prices are killer!)

That is an upside 🙂 Alaska is stupid expensive to fly to, I hear ya there.
