I'm assuming that some sites are mid-internship interview craziness and that is the reason for some of the delay in outreach. However, this wait to hear anything either way is seriously brutal.

Ive also been wondering. I sent an email today to inquire on the status of applications and when decisions may be finalized. I haven’t heard back yet but will post here if I do

As an FYI, Brown is in the midst of internship interview craziness, which might account for a bit of the delay 🙂. I'd imagine other sites might be in a similar position!

Hang in there, fam! Y'all are all gonna land a great postdoc 🙂
 
Anyone find out how you can see how many applicants they interviewed? I can find that for internships but not post docs.
 
Wondering if anyone has heard from Louis Stokes Cleveland VA neuro, University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center neuro, or Indiana University neuro? I was hoping to hear back from a bunch of sites this week, but that unfortunately has not been the case 😱

So what is the proper etiquette when you've got INS interviews scheduled back to back? The good news I ended up with 8, but needless to say I've got a pretty hectic February 4th ahead of me. Do I just let interviewers know during the last 10-15 minutes that I need to wrap up around 5 minutes early to head to another interview? I don't want to risk accidentally sending the wrong message or offending anyone.

I went through the process last year and I was worried about this too, but it didn’t end up being much of an issue. They know that you have a busy schedule, and chances are they have back to back interviews too! Plus all the interviews should be around the same area. I think when it feels like you have 10-15 minutes left you could just mention you’re keeping an eye on the time because you have another interview. It may wrap up naturally around that time anyway.
 
Hey all,

Has anyone heard from...

  1. University of Colorado
  2. Institute of living/Hartford Hospital
  3. University of New Mexico Hospital
  4. Philadelphia VA
  5. Advent Health Medical Group

Still waiting on Institute of living, Memphis, and Philadelphia VA. Also based on past notification dates institute of living usually extends interviews towards the end of the January... Hope that helps!

I have not heard from either UMASS or Bridgewater. I expect to hear from Bridgewater soon, as they indicated they would notify mid-January.
 
Hey all,

What are yall thoughts on reaching out to sites people have heard from but that I havent heard anything from one way or another? I'm assuming it's a rejection but a small part of me is hoping they are doing rolling invites.... is that even a thing?!? Lol.

Last year for some internship sites rolling invites were totally a thing! And I think it's late enough into January that reaching out to sites is fair game. I say go for it!
