APPIC Internship Interview Invitation Thread (2020)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Has anyone gotten rejections from Asheville, Hampton, and Salisbury VA's? I saw people got interviews but I haven't heard anything either way.

Members don't see this ad.
 
I'm nervous with just my 2 interviews so far, still have sites to hear back from. But knowing the stats when it comes to matching is making me worrisome.
I know a number of people who matched with 1 or 2 interviews, so try not to worry too much! It's more about the fit than the number of interviews. ;)

Yeah still have 7 more sites to hear from, I added some seemingly less competitive sites to list once I got mostly no's for interviews. I don't need many, even one more interview would help!
Yes, definitely! It seems like that 2nd tier of 3-4 interviews boosts the odds of getting placed. And people also match with 1-2 sites, so who knows!

Anyone hear back from University of Oregon or University of Texas at Austin CAPS?

I also applied to UT Austin, and their notification deadline is not till the 15th. Even though I feel the dates can be arbitrary numbers, just to make us feel better lol, they probably won't reach out till at least Thursday, I imagine. Good luck!!! :)

I don't think there are tracks!
I don't think so either but I also have not heard back yet. Counting it as a rejection based on my recent rejection frenzy but also maybe still holding onto some hope. We will see

Last year at my program we had one person who had 10 interviews and did not place in Match I and someone who had 1 interview but ended up matching. I understand the stats but know that all you need is one :).

You are right! I meant for California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC). Scattered brain...
 
Anyone heard of Orlando VA? I was not worried about it until I saw that they were added to the main list. However, all I have seen is indirect posts about it aka 'I heard from someone'.

Does anyone know if it's uncommon or not for students from the same program to get matched to the same site?
It happens. Two people from the same cohort in my program ended up at a hospital together.

Anyone heard from National Psychology Training Consortium, Central Region? They were suppose to notify today, but they extended their deadline so I am not sure if it was pushed back.
Same! Has anyone heard from the National Psychology Training Consortium Great Lakes Region or Cascades Region?

Cascade Region is having issues and are behind on notifications. I know a colleague who received an email referring to an attached letter with no attachments - they were notified that they're working to fix it.

Was that an invite? If you don’t mind sharing
Yes it was an invite! I received an offer over a week after a colleague of mine, so it seems like they may still be reviewing applications. Best of luck and I hope you hear from them soon!

I got something similar for another state hospital in California. I think it is confirmation of passing the first stage of the qualification process before you can be considered for an interview. My understanding is it is in response to the STD 678 form you had to complete.

Thank you!
I’m wondering if they process it for all candidates or just those that they will offer an interview to?

I received a letter also of passing an exam but not sure if others received it. On previous posts some students stated they received a letter inquiring information on the social security number. Good luck

I'm wondering about that as well... I also applied to Atascadero State Hospital and filled out the same form but did not receive a letter like this from them and then was rejected last week. So, maybe getting a letter from Napa is a good sign??

Good question! I assumed it was everyone because it was a state application.

This is also the feedback I received from the internship team at my program

I received an email stating that HR would reach out at a later date to schedule the interview. They stated that their interview states are Jan 13, 15, 17 and an in-person interview is required.

This came in after 10 last night, EST, so I second the thoughts that NPTC (all the regions, not just cascade) was having some technical difficultly but working hard to meet their deadline of 12/09.

I am still waiting on 11 more. I am thinking since December 15th is the deadline for most programs to notify, we will hear something by Friday the 13th.

I’ve heard from the CBT track at UT Health SA, but I haven’t heard from any of their other tracks.

Friday the 13th. Nice. Focusing less on the idea that this date is "bad luck" and more on the idea that it could potentially be reframed as "magical." And 13 is a lucky number for Italians! May the luck of the Italians be with you all!

I'm hoping you get more, but even if you don't - it only takes one. There was someone in my cohort who only got one interview (when the imbalance was far the other way) and that's where she matched.
