PhD/PsyD APPIC Internship Interview Invitation Thread (2019)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I saw that someone got an invite yesterday to Colorado MH at Ft. Logan. The official notification date is tomorrow.

Did anyone receive a rejection from this site?

I’m still waiting to hear something.

BMED. And thanks! I’ve been shocked with how well I’ve taken these rejections (6 so far). I went into this refusing to have a top choice and I think that really benefited me!!!

Just got rejected from Yale BMed too. Did your letter say anything about BMed? Mine just said Clincial and Community Psychology, and my APPIC numbers are weird for Yale. I am afraid I might have applied to the wrong track..

Mine said the same thing even though I applied to the BMed track - i think they just put that as the rejection for all tracks so that they could have a generic rejection email

Also rejected from BMED, mine was formatted the same. Onwards and upwards!

Rejection from Rocky Mountain Regional VA. Mass email addressed to my name. This one doesn’t hurt much.

This was a reach site by far!! I am over the moon!!
 
Congrats!! Me too!! Did they even have specialty tracks? I think I also just applied to the general track.
Congrats! I think they had gerontology and PCMHI tracks, as well. But, they didn't have specialty rotations to choose from for their Generalist track. It seems like it's already preset - happens to be areas I am very interested in so it works well for me!
 
Interesting. I didn't receive a phone call from them yesterday or a rejection email today. Guess I can add them to the other 4 sites of mine that remain an ongoing mystery 🙂

Nevermind haha, I just got a rejection email too 😛 This one kind of hurts because this is my home state and was hoping to be able to stay here, but wasn't meant to be 🙁
 
Hi all! Has anyone gotten an interview invitation for a date they cannot attend? If so, what did you say back? I really want to interview at these sites but unfortunately already scheduled interviews for that date. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I had this happen and said that I was very excited to receive their invitation and was very much looking forward to interviewing at their site; however, I unfortunately had made prior commitments on that date/those dates and was writing to see if there was any possibility of alternative dates to interview.

I was lucky in that they gave me an alternate date and I was able to make it! Even though I hadn't asked, that particular site mentioned that they did not do skype or phone interviews, but it worked out for me. I know other sites might offer that instead. In general, I would say emphasize your interest in interviewing with them and just say that you regret that you've made prior commitments that you can't back out of.

Has anyone received a rejection from St. Luke's or Rutgers? I'm hoping I'm in the "Will Invite Eventually" or "Maybe" pile instead of the "We Don't Want Her but also Don't Feel Like Sending Out a Rejection Email Right Now" pile.
