Just booked my flights for my January interviews (minus 1; waiting on a date confirmation) and added it to my spreadsheet of how much money I've spent. I saw the total and legit broke out in stress-hives. Seriously. My back, chest, and arms are covered and itch like crazy. Better slather on some hydrocortisone cream and watch A Christmas Prince and #netflixandcry

 

[Thistleblue]

Yay, me too! Haha re: guidance centers, people keep asking me if this is The Guidance Center in Long Beach... why are there even 2 sites in SoCal with such similar names?? Just to confuse everyone?

I agree! It's too much guidance for anyone to take.

12/11 via mass email
Would have been interview dates: 12/13, 12/15, & 1/5
Staying Sane?: seeing as how they did not notify me until 2 days prior to their advertised interview date I was 1) expecting it & 2) relieved I didn't have to haul butt to Virginia at the last minute.

Yeah...I remember hearing how much people spent last year and thinking, "How could they spend that much? I definitely won't spend that much." Hahahahahahahaha

I applied there too, no word yet. It looks like in previous years they've notified pretty close to December 15, so I'm not expecting to hear from them until tomorrow or Friday!

For those who got an interview offer to Rutgers CAPS, did they give you any interview dates to choose from besides Jan 3, 4, 5? I already have interviews on all of those dates and am hoping that they have other dates available per their APPIC member site listing!

 

[ellabelle46]

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.

I think last year someone ended up making a thread to discuss switching interview dates. I don't need to switch but people who need to could perhaps make a new thread if there's enough demand? I think I've seen a few other requests to switch dates come up on here.

These are the dates they gave me too. I told them I can only do January 3. If their dates were going to be so limited I wish they notified earlier! You're right their APPIC member site lists more availability. I hope they come through for you!

Eek thank you!! Jan 3 is the only one I *might* be able to do - maybe I'll see you there!

If you legit want to #netflixandcry while keeping the same cheesy vibe, might I suggest "Kiss and Cry?"

 

[ICantStopHittingRefresh]

Good luck out there, #forumfam! May you all get good news today!

And @slaney...hives?!?! Hope you're feeling better!

Hey internship friends! If anybody is interviewing at Pine Rest in Grand Rapids, MI on 1/12 and would be willing to switch with me for 1/5, can you PM me? I'd appreciate you forever!

I laughed so hard that I cried. A+. Favorite chapter by far. Thank you for sharing

Read that last night. Pretty good. A solid 5/7.

 

[Segan1]

Any thoughts on sites who have their notification deadline January 10th? I really hope that is a mistake on the APPIC directory

Have rejections for Denver Health gone out yet?

Not from what I know! I am waiting on this one as well. Invites went out a few weeks ago!
