Thank you!! All the east coast sites I applied to are coming through, now I just need the west coast sites to cooperate.

Have y'all's DCTs said what they think is a good number of interviews to get for good odds at matching? Mine said 7 as a minimum, but I'm curious what other people are being told.

Multiple people at my program have matched with 3.

Our DCT didnt say an exact number, just that we need to apply to 12 to 15 sites (seperate tracks are included as "sites"). Apparently the research is that there is no return on applying to more than 15 and you expect to be interviewed by about half. However, i think its highly dependent. For example, i applied to one site for two tracks and they are interviewing me for both but only in one interview. So is that one or two interviews? Theres just so many variables. I know people in my program that applied to 5 or 6, got 3 or 4 interviews and matched in phase I. I also know people who applied to 20 and had 10 interviews and went to phase 2. I would say 4 interviews where you are an extremely strong candidate and have a strong interest is better than 7 interviews that are luke warm. Thats just my opinion. I hope it goes good for you!

These data are only reported up to 2016, but see the APPIC Applicant Survey Part 2 results, e.g.,:

Applicant Survey - 2016 - Part 2

Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers, Postdoc Interns, Psychology Internships, Psych Internship Matching - APPIC

www.appic.org

Number of interview offers received:

1 to 2 interviews Match rate = 60% n = 236
3 to 4 interviews Match rate = 83% n = 392
5 to 6 interviews Match rate = 90% n = 451
7 to 8 interviews Match rate = 95% n = 455
9 to 10 interviews Match rate = 99% n = 368
11 or more interviews Match rate = 99% n = 495

Waiting on 16 places...

I feel you! I'm waiting on 17 :-( I feel like they will all come in within a 2 or 3 day period and I'm not spiritually ready for this haha

 

[almostboredcertified]

Figured it was worth a shot.....

Has anyone heard from the Peds Neuro/Neuro Tracks at:
Children's Orange Country
Henry Ford
NYU Langone/Rusk
Northwell Health
Penn State Hershey
U Florida Health Science
U Tennessee Health Science

It's been reallllllly quiet over here.

Still also waiting to hear from NYU, Henry Ford Neuro, and Penn State Hershey. I think most of these sites will send out interview notifications next week, but who knows.

 

[madzB4]

Anyone heard from Texas A&M CAPS or Oregon State? I am waiting to hear from 12 sites and already have 6 rejections...this process is confidence crushing.

 

[Shruffle]

Has anyone heard from University of Massachusetts? It's past their notification deadline, not that that means anything -__-

 

[deleted1017236]

I feel you! I'm waiting on 17 :-( I feel like they will all come in within a 2 or 3 day period and I'm not spiritually ready for this haha

I'm relieved not to be the only one waiting on double digits of interviews! The next two weeks are going to be so angsty!

I'm in the same boat! Hard to tell if it is a good thing or the calm before the storm

 

[almostboredcertified]

Feel free to email the day after their notification deadline has passed (as long as the date is consistent on APPIC and on their brochure/website - or use the later of the two dates) and you've checked your spam. In recent years, we actually had someone who's email was misspelled who was invited for an interview and I was contacted by her to inquire about her status. I'm sure we would've eventually realized this, but we appreciated her being proactive.

Thanks for offering your thoughts on this. Wow! What a wild story. I may have to ponder this further

I was emailed an invite to Oregon State CAPS yesterday with interviews between December 5 and 20th. They did ask us to let them know by Dec 4th if we won't be able to interview, so it seems like they may send more invitations later on. Good luck!

I got this email too. The "technical difficulty" was Thanksgiving

 

[psychod]

I haven't heard from Danielsen yet either. Not holding my breath for tomorrow . . .

I don’t think it’s a good sign if we haven't heard yet and deadline is tomorrow. Also, it is an extremely long shot for me. But I just want to hear back and move on.

AHHH CONGRATULATIONS! I am so (jealous) excited for you! This is my #1 site on paper...Is Northwestern-Feinberg known for extending interview invites exclusively via phone calls? If so, do they do so throughout the week?

I know someone who got an interview there. I still have not heard back either from them. Likely a rejection!

I still haven’t heard but a friend heard from Jacobi three weeks ago, I believe the interviews are sent out on a rolling basis

I still haven't heard from Jacobi

I am not sure. You can look through last year's thread and see if people posted on different days. I wouldn't give up though until you receive a rejection.

Right, I think their projected interview dates are in January? So still some hope
