Alcohol kills germs, right? Sooo.... seems like a good plan to me (and also what I’m doing at this moment also fighting a cold)I've given up and just poured a glass of wine.
edit: can you drink wine when you have a cold? These are the questions of our time.
LOLOL omgso UM College Park has or hasn't sent out mass email interview invites?
This is actually reasonable.

Okay. I actually hadn’t read the posts before mine and have no idea there was a rejection thread going or whatever. The fact of life is that we’re going to get hurt from time to time and it is not the responsibility of others to #pussyfoot around hiding our experiences and being hyper alert all the damn time to whose feelings might be hurt by the current arbitrary thing happening in life that day.
I was led to believe that having empathy, especially in situations where emotions are running high, is a core component to being a psychologist. While I was not personally hurt or upset by your initial post I can understand why it would be upsetting for someone to hear that after just expressing their raw feelings about this process.
After hearing someone say (for example) "my father died and i'm upset", it would be odd to have the statement followed by "my father's alive and i guess i'm happy about that but he could be a better father". Both statements/feelings are valid and I would not encourage the second speaker to forever avoid talking about their father being not great but I would hope that they would find either better timing or a better way of communicating it.
The fact that you made a whole other account makes it worse because if you just said it and it was your regular account then i could think well this person might have just missed the previous thread discussions or they were really focused on something they are upset about and weren't thinking about how others might react to that. By saying, hey guys i made a fake account to say this you are basically saying that you sat there and thought...i'm about to say something that will hurt and upset people and i know it so i'm going to find a way to say it so that it can't be linked back to me.
You're killing me Smalls
They sent invites a while ago? that means I am on their rejection list.
You rock for giving me other things to consider! For all the time, money, blood, sweat, and tears we invest in this process, I want to have a thorough way to evaluate each site, so I love having a lot of factors to weigh.
I'm copying your list because you just did a bunch of brilliant work that I now don't have to...so thank you! I also 100% support the "gut feeling" score!!
CONGRATS! What track?
It is quite possible this is an ACTUAL photo of me at many different points in this process (including, I predict, Feb 7-23 6am).I have still not heard from 2 sites who listed their deadline as TODAY...and have 2 others with later deadlines.
As with other parts of this process, I could be handling it better.
Absolutely! Glad to share the products of my neuroticism with the #forumfam!!Nothing that I can tell but can I steal this?
Yes, I think so too! That gut feeling is just as important as the more objective things to evaluate. I love that everyone is in tune with their gut 🙂
I'm also waiting on Children's Institute and was also hoping it was a typo...but no one has been able to confirm that. 🙁
Annnndddd....I just copied and pasted your input. Thank you!!
There is a god!!!!!!!

Hey ! I'm not sure if you saw my post earlier, but I think you are a #NeuroSeeker and was wondering if you saw any statistics about the match rate to interviews for those going into pure neuropsych tracks. Trying to plan my odds here. Thanks!
