APPIC Internship Interview Invitation Thread (2020)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
One of my supervisors at my site just gave me such a sweet pep-talk. I am going into the match for a second time in pediatric neuro as I didn't match last year, and I currently have more rejections than invites with 9 more to go. I was feeling a little upset and he comes into my office and just tells me so many positive qualities about my work ethic etc. and tells me not to worry. I am glad I have someone in my corner...feeling pretty down today...

Ahhhh congrats!
 
I would email Dr. Kulick again if it's been more than 3 days in the case that your email didn't go through-- she's wonderful! Most of my sites have confirmed interview dates the next day.

Thank you! I am glad to hear that she's wonderful! I did email her again to just confirm that she received my email, so I will wait a bit and email again. I'm sure she is swamped with emails, too!

Sending you strength and positivity! I hope everything works out for the best for you.
 
Just caught up on like three pages worth of post from this thread... and I'm like DAMN someone send me something!! Only to go to my inbox to see a nice rejection waiting for me.. Ask and you shall receive lmao

-Rejection from Broughton Hospital

Sorry to hear that, but I liked the "ask and you shall receive" comment. Yeah...I am banging my head against the wall here (not literally) trying to figure out how this is happening. They should make a movie off of this social experiment, starring Samuel L Jackson in some capacity.

Friend just heard from University of Virginia Counseling Center, offered by phone for 1/8
 
I am now becoming paranoid as to if, 1. my rec letters were not good, 2. that my integrated reports and case summary I submitted was not good enough. I really can't my finger on it.
don't go there yet. hang in there! it's still early in the process & sometimes it just feels somewhat arbitrary...who knows what specific individual reviewers are drawn to...

Me too!!! Congrats!

I also saw that, but haven't heard back from them. I saw the person posted "mass email," and so I'm assuming I got rejected. But who knows?

Some friends of mine received invites at 9pm central (from a site that is central time too). I imagine folks sometimes take time after their work days to be sure invites get sent out as quickly as possible.
