Ask for clarification. Got a response within the day.
Some sites are unaware of mistakes until someone mentions it.

Was it a rejection or invitation?

Also curious. They typically send responses on the last day (historically). Nothing yet for me, but I was expecting to hear back tomorrow anyways. Hoping for some good news for us both!!

Has anyone heard from Johns Hopkins since 12/8?
What, are you serious? Literally highlighted inpatient and SMI all over my cover letter because it was listed on their site. Feels like a waste of $30 now, lol.

Thank you for the reply! My guess is that was "aspirational" and I am in the same boat as you 😉.
Same and I think I spent 60
I'm so annoyed!!! Ugh. This process is something.....

Just a heads up -- not sure if anyone else who got an offer to interview at the U of New Mexico Health Sciences and hasn't received confirmation of their interview date but I just found one of my confirmations in spam 😵

I got a rejection from them, then a recall, and then the same rejection again 😒

Has anyone else besides the OP on the google slides received a rejection from University of Kansas Medical Center yet?

I applied to Adult Acute/OPD and Adult/Child OPD. Also Latinx but they offered me an interview for those two tracks.
I should also add that I e-mailed the director last night and she clarified that the rejection e-mail was a mistake.

Hi all! First post here 🙂 but I was looking at some of the sites that have extended their application deadlines (lol considering panic applying), I noticed basically all that are left are unaccredited sites. I did see one that I'm interested in and highly wish it was accredited. What are everyones feelings/thoughts on applying to an unaccredited site?
An unaccredited internship closes many future employment options so unless somebody is basically 100% committed to a private practice career, is likely significantly geographically restricted for internship and only plans to live in a state where this will be accepted for licensure, I’d strongly pass during Phase 1.
I’ll throw in a caveat for an unaccredited VA internship since they are likely meeting national VA training standards so the question would be whether you’d be considered a graduate of an accredited program or not by time you finish.
Worst case scenario, Phase 2 and the post-Phase 2 clearinghouse options exist where unaccredited options can still potentially be considered but even then, there were some really top notch accredited sites in Phase 2 last year.
I know of some significant staffing turnover at this VA during the past year so if you haven’t heard 2+ weeks after their deadline, a brief email to check seems appropriate.

It’s my hometown but not where I am currently located! You can always shoot me a message if you have questions or wanna ask more. Trying to stay somewhat anonymous on this forum😎
How many days in advance of an interview would you expect to receive information about the structure of the interview/who you are interviewing with and the zoom/meeting link?
I had an interview yesterday and did not receive the interview schedule until Friday.
Thanks for updating me!! My rejection email was also a mistake. What a relief!
I personally am not inherently opposed to unaccredited sites, but would look at how many years they have been operating, if they are in the process of seeking accreditation, anything I've heard about their training reputation, outcome data on past interns, etc. I would be more hesitant to be part of a site's first class, however. It is not even an option for me, however, as my program only allows us to apply to APA-accredited sites. Good luck with your decision, and hope you get a great match!

I am still waiting and have not heard either way.
No, this site has not confirmed my interview date yet (and I sent them my preferences on November 30th). I was going to reach out to them about this, but then read in their email that they will confirm interview dates by December 17th!

Nope still waiting. I think they need to notify us today per the appic email but we will see.
Anyone else being treated to a string of rejections this week? I had four in less than 24 hours, ouch.
I empathize with ya! it's the most magical week of the internship match process, a billion and one interview notification dates all within the same week ✨✨✨
Internship is ultimately a credential, regardless of one's experience. For anybody considering an unaccredited internship, take a look at some job postings for positions that you might want in the future and I think you'll find that many require an APA or CPA internship. Without this credential, you won't ever be eligible for those jobs so there are definitely stakes involved with going down this route.
Not a gero person but expect some performance-based (or informed) questions related to describing previous gero experiences with a focus on clarifying your approach/process (e.g., describe a challenging assessment case including barriers you faced and how you ultimately managed). I also wouldn't be surprised to see questions related to ethical or diversity concerns for this population or be asked to describe a time when you've navigated a conflict due to the interdisciplinary nature of this work, including VA CLCs.
Yes, I quoted from their website and brochure and they said they will remove it and thanked me for pointing it out.
I agree with this, very unethical indeed.
They should refund us
Sorry to ask again, but has anyone heard from John’s Hopkins today or last week?
No. I may call/email tomorrow.

Does anyone hear from UT Austin Counseling Center? I saw they sent out both rejection and interview today, but I don't receive anything from them.
I am still waiting to hear from the San Francisco VA
