Congrats on all the BOP sites! I only applied to the FMC Rochester BOP site, and didn't hear back. I'm hoping I might still have a shot, but things are not looking so good if you all received notifications today.

I feel like this is actually not a trap because according to my DCT Steve McCutcheon is truly the nicest person ever. Also, given that it's an open house and not actually an interview and they apparently won't be taking notes on applicants (just apparently reading and rereading the appis and deciding their rank order) I think we're actually fine to go by this.

Agreed! Heard the same (nice) things about their DCT.

Congrats! I actually just got a rejection from them lol. When did you apply to your other BOP sites? I haven't heard good or bad from those yet.

Nothing yet. Sounds like either today or tomorrow will be a big day for a lot of us. Even when I initially saw their notification date of 11/15, I pondered whether or not they made a mistake with the '11.' But we have to stick with what is posted.

No news from Dartmouth yet?

Do people think invites are going to come to a stand still today and tomorrow with so many Training Directors at ABCT? Most of my emails so far have come from the director rather than administrative staff so I'm wondering whether we should take a break from neurotically checking email for the next few days!

Probably a good idea in general.

Congrats SMI guy, what are you going to wear to prepare for the totally unpredictable weather?
 
A couple of people from my program got interview invites today (11/15) from East Virginia Medical School (I think Adult Inpatient Track) via personal email. They offered them 1/11 and 1/14 for interview dates.
I still haven't heard anything from them and I'm wondering if anyone got a rejection email from EVMS yet?

I haven't heard from them and neither has my cohort member. Here's hoping for some good news. I applied to the Adult Medical Inpatient Track - not sure if that means anything.

I just got off a plane to ABCT to one from a few hours before so my guess is that it’s all fair game! Good luck!
 
Ok this USAJobs app is really confusing. So we just need to upload our APPIC application, a transcript, and enrollment verification? Is everyone filling out the work history of the application completely? And, is anyone submitting an online transcript? It looks like it just needs school name, student name, and degree?

I do have a question. I have a conflict with the 17th for an interview date and I am unsure how to approach the situation with the training director if my first preference (the 7th) does not work out? I responded to the invite within 45 minutes.

Congrats! I applied there as well, the underserved population track. I submitted my application yesterday morning and I was surprised to see they have already sent out invites. Considering their deadline is tonight's midnight, I guess they must have a rolling review process...

Has anyone heard from the Vanderbilt University Medical Center Child and Adolescent Track? I saw some posts about invites for the Adult and Psychosis tracks so just wondering if I should slide that one down into my projected rejections or continue holding my breath.
 
Just reached out to a friend who was on the neuro track at Dartmouth a few years back and she said when she reached out to them she got the impression they were using number of pubs as a filter for applications. She said it’s likely not good news if I hadn’t heard by today (their deadline). Sigh. On to the next, right??

@beyoncepadthai117 I haven't heard for this track either. Looks like we might be applying to a lot of the same sites! But really excited about this program so crossing my fingers...
Click to expand...

My invite for VUMC psychosis came specifically from the director of the track, and psychosis came out a day later than adult, so I think each emphasis is on their own timeline. Fingers crossed for both of you!
 
@TryingToStaySane @Ph.DERS thank you both for your speedy replies! I was hoping (and assuming) that was the case but this whole process has already made me so paranoid that I started to casually panic. Holding out hope for tomorrow or Monday!! We've got this!👍

(In honor of last year) If & How you're staying sane: N/A - implies sanity as a baseline state.

Also received invites from Cincinnati VA and UAMS (both neuro) but already saw those posted. In the group waiting for Dartmouth; I don't think it looks promising for us! If, as someone suggested, they are basing it more off of research/publication count then I don't know that I am going to be high in their list. Rejection from WVU SOM (neuro).
 
I got my first response today and it was a rejection for Nationwide's Pediatric Neuropsych Track 🙁

There will be others! I am likely on the verge of receiving my first rejection as well, by the end of the night.

Haha me too. This forum is great for providing up-to-date information, however, when you see someone post that they got an interview offer from a site you are waiting to hear back from (and haven't heard anything from yet), you can kinda predict your fate 🙁
