This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.

Personally, I suggest we all get back on track with the purpose of this specific thread, which is intended to be focused on interview invitations and how we are navigating them. Who is right or wrong is neither significant nor relevant at this point because we clearly see a divide and there are false premises sprinkled throughout this situation. However, one's impact is more important than one's intention - there are many individuals on this thread, including those who are simply reading and never posting, so posts should take into account the potential perceptions of others. Given the omnipresent anxiety during this process for each and every one of us, we can be sensitive to that in a manner that aligns with how we likely carry out our lives outside of this thread - at least how psychologists-in-training ought to think and behave.

That aside, I wanted to remind everyone that, while the master list will likely be updated again tonight or tomorrow, I am doing my best to keep track of incoming invitations and can always DM an up-to-date list until I hand it over to Grenth. We are almost through this (at least hopefully for most), so hang in there!

I interviewed at 11 VA sites last year and did not have any written requirement. The majority of questions were the usual PBI questions.

I apologize if you clarified this already, but what are PBI questions? Also, your username is my absolute favorite lol!

I am hoping for some thoughts on what to do with luggage on interview days when traveling to sites. Do you think it’s acceptable to bring to the interview site if flying out immediately following the interview? Thank you for your help

I did this today and there were several other people who did it as well. I emailed the coordinator and asked if there was a place to store luggage and it all worked out well.

I'll be at Pacific on the 10th, too! and also Columbia Valley on the 17th - I saw you posted that you're interviewing there as well. Good luck! Hope to meet you on the 10th!
 
Rejection from Barrow Neurological Institute/Phoenix Children’s—mass email. Only waiting on one site and can’t wait for the waiting to be done lol.
 
Anyone get a rejection from Youth Opportunity Center? Their deadline was a while back and would like to know at this point so I can be done waiting on sites!

Hi LAnne, sure! They’re “performance-based” questions that try to get a deeper look at your process. So questions like, “Tell me about a time when you disagreed with a supervisor.” “Tell me about a case that didn’t go well and what you learned from it.” That kind of stuff.

Thanks so much! I get a kick out of it and it was a good conversation starter when I was online dating.
 
Has anyone been rejected from Appalachian State University CAPS? I know interview invitations were sent out a while ago but I have not received a rejection yet.

Not 100% sure. I saw someone else post about the same track with different dates earlier today. So I imagine they are sending out invites in waves.

I was preparing to address a very similar situation - ultimately, I didn't get the other interview that would have conflicted, so I didn't have to worry about it, but this is what I was planning on: email Site 1 and explain the situation of no flexibility from Site 2 and your desire to attend as many interviews as possible. Then inquire if they have had other candidates cancel or request a change from other possible interview dates, or if they would simply permit you to interview on an alternate day (or Skype) given the situation. If neither will budge and you truly have to decide between one or the other, I would go with the one YOU prefer most, without trying to deduce where you might fall in each site's rankings. I can sympathize with trying to incorporate that info, but you may never know - whereas you do know your own preference.

Thank you for your thoughts, I appreciate it. Neither site was willing to budge, so it did come down to choosing the best site for me-

Did anyone end up hearing from University of Washington Counseling Center today? I saw on their APPIC page that the deadline is 12/13, so not sure whether to count it as an implicit rejection?

I'm still waiting as well. It's the end of the quarter there, so it's possible they're swamped with that.

Causing anxiety? I chose not to engage in these conversations for a specific reason. I owe no one anything. As harsh as that sounds, I can chose who I tell things to, and who I don't', how much or how little information to share. "Causing" is fresh...from my understanding within CBT, no one causes another person to be angry, anxious, etc., rather, it's the percepotions that person holds of the situation. Something can be anxiety-provoking, such as a post I made, but whether or not you elect to perceive it and think about it in such a way will be the culprit behind you getting anxious. So no, I won't bear the weight of the entire world on my shoulders. People make provocative and controversial comments all of the time on here. People will agree and disagree with others. That's fine too. There have been several posters on here that may not click with me, but I sure won't go out of my way to publically shame them, etc. The post I made regarding keeping my internship interviews on the DL was sparked not because of a personal vendetta. I literally have a message in my PM box where the person admitted that they knew who I was personally because they saw my "writing style" on this forum, and somehow remembered this writing style in a listserv email they received a long time ago (I don't normally post on a listserve, so I know it was a while back). This person would have needed to dig through those emails and magically find the email they felt my writing style matched to make that connection to confirm their theory. That is creepy as hell. So, yes, I decided to be more cautious with my internship posts because I dont know their intentions (they could be nefarious for all I know).
Click to expand...

Then block them and move on with your life. You've posted numerous times on here even after knowing this supposedly nefarious person is potentially after you. If you are so worried about their negative intentions, then why engage in this forum at all? You stopped posting where you are getting interviews to only telling us you received interviews. If this person knows who you are then again begs the question, why do you post at all? If you are just wanting validation or are attention seeking or whatever it is, at least be honest about it. Everyone else is going through this anxiety-provoking process but we aren't trying to cause anxiety and then give excuses as to how everyone else's cognitions are maladaptive. I also still don't know how an internship interview can be used against you. And no it does not seem like it's fine that people disagree with you because you'll probably either respond to this post with an excuse or not respond at all... it sounds like all you want to do is receive all the information but not really contribute to help everyone else.

Has anyone gotten rejections from Fraser (their notification was listed as during the week of 12/9) or Kennedy Krieger Institute Center for Child and Family Traumatic Stress? These are the only 2 sites I’m waiting on and I believe they have both already made interview offers.
