Anyone else get the APPIC Match Instructions for Ranking and Results email and currently managing resultant heart palpitations?

 

[ReallyFutureDrLove]

Agreed! Mine kept cutting out. I realize I like phone better, I make weird , large hand gestures when I’m talking on the phone.

Haha! I tried to just have shoulders up view on Skype because I also use my hands a lot! Luckily, there was no cutting out! They do understand and if a site got annoyed with it, then you’re not worth their time!

Definitely screamed at my email, "TOO SOON, GREG!"

It's okay. I'm okay. Everything is okay.

Site: Montana State U
Track: NA
Invite/Rejection: Invite!!!!! One more site left to hear from
Dates included: Jan 3rd, 4th, 5th, 8th, or 9th for phone interviews

 

[Hawkeye11]

Still waiting from Citrus Health Network. Somebody in a similar situation???

I haven't heard from them, either, but I have seen eariler in the thread where one person has reported an invitation and another person has reported being placed on a waiting list. Also, previous years' threads seem to indicate that there are people that never hear from them... I'm assuming that the fact that I haven't heard from them is equivalent to a rejection at this point. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I've been telling myself, "The Match isn't until ages from now, no need to start getting anxious yet"... Nope, that email ruined. Officially starting Match Anxiety now.

That's friggin rude of the site.

 

[Hawkeye11]

TD follow up email is the shizzle-bizzle-dizzle!!! That's their version of HINT HINT PICK ME! I think - other opinions?

BTW: Would it be breaking APPIC rules if, at my dream site, I answer the "where do you see yourself in 5 years" questions with "right here, celebrating five years of bliss!"??? Too obvious??? 😉

I said something more extreme without being asked a question or prompted in any way at my first interview. It was my super smooth way of saying goodbye. "Goodbye and hopefully I'll be seeing you again in the future, like for the next 30 years or so..." To an interviewer who mentioned she had been working at the site for over 30 years.

#thirsty #itsnotgoodbyejustgoodbyefornow 😛

 

[Hawkeye11]

That's friggin rude of the site.

I kind of thought the same. On the other hand, it's been making the rejection go down more smoothly.... So, are they rude or are they super kind in a really underhanded way? The world may never know... 😛

 

[Hawkeye11]

Definitely screamed at my email, "TOO SOON, GREG!"

It's okay. I'm okay. Everything is okay.

I wonder if Greg knows he has email folders named after him in strangers' gmail accounts now, because I totally named my Match News folder "Greg."

 

[Bryan91]

I'm struggling to find the comment about how to end a phone interview on a high note and leave the idea that the site would be the most ideal place to be. Does anyone know what page it was said on. lol, I've looked through 20 pages and no luck

 

[TotalFailurePhD]

i usually end a phone call with "I love you," but I haven't had any phone interviews

Omg! I happened to be passing by my DCT’s office right after I got it and I told him that we got that email and he was like “Oh no...Greg >.<!” And I died!!!! Lol

Still no word from Napa it seems.

I was literally about to post and ask if anyone heard from them!

The waiting is killing me! Come on guys!

 

[ICantStopHittingRefresh]

When I'm wondering if yet another site is not going to honor the notification deadline they set for themselves and I have to reflect on my choices.

I have been refreshing my email over and over again since 10 am when I figured they might start their day

I've considered employing this method.....

As I re-read his email, I noticed he wrote that he EXPECTED to notify us today. Not that he would. Play on words also, when I responded to his email last week (bc I respond to ALL emails ) he had a message that he would be out of the office until 12/26 and listed two other people to contact for internship stuff

......I can't even.

Yeah I noticed that about the language in the email. No reprieve. We just wait anxiously

[OpalinePhoenix]

Hahahah! I need to stop overanalyzing! , So I think the best way for us to really see how we fit with each other is a round of Cards Against Humanity...

This would be the BEST interview.

i usually end a phone call with "I love you," but I haven't had any phone interviews

I need to step up my game. No wonder people think I don't demonstrate much emotion! I'm going into the next one with grade school Valentine cards.

 

[Mordz]

Pretty cool how applicants have strict deadlines but sites can take as long as they want.

 

[coffeepsyched]

i have to watch The Christmas Prince again to make up for it #noshame

I don’t know how I feel about The Christmas Prince. I think it grew on me at the end but there are so many things wrong lol

 

[ReallyFutureDrLove]

I like it. Add a knowing glance and you've got a deal! Are you getting in last minute? I'm scheduled to be in a day and a half before to do three online interviews.

Sort of, yeah. I was going to drive down the day before because it’s not too far from me!

I’m down for the knowing glance.

Sorry for all the Napa folks! I know that’s such a good and competitive site.

Rejection from SUNY Upstate Medical University!!!! (12/20) Closure feels so good!
That was my last site. This forum has been a godsend, thank you everyone for the digital social support. Good luck to everyone with interviews and happy futures all around.

 

[slaney]

I have had 3 interviews since Friday, been on 6 planes in the last 3 days, flown 3,948 miles, and just ate like 17 Christmas cookies my mom made.

Wishing safe and smooth trips to all who are traveling, good vibes to those still waiting to hear, and a restful couple weeks for those who are waiting for interviews in January! 🙂
