APPIC Internship Interview Invitation Thread (2020)

Members don't see this ad.

Seeing patients has been ROUGH today. It's just hard to focus if we are supposed to be responding to invitations...

 

[psycho1391]

Anyone else finding it freaking impossible to get any serious work done while monitoring your inbox? Got 2 notifications this morning and today's supposed to be a notification deadline for another of my sites (though see occamsrzr's post above!!) and can. not. focus.

Yeah, there's a discerable difference in my ability to concentrate on work.

 

[deleted1003601]

I'm still waiting for all of my rejections to come flooding in 🙂

Highly doubt that! Stay positive

 

[CallmeDoc2]

All of my sites notification dates are not until Dec 1 or 15th. However, hopefully they start rolling in here soon!

 

[deleted1019096]

Yes they may come in waves. Lots of sites have not released too

 

[WMG-2021]

Perhaps San Antonio VA and Henry Ford, and Emory, and UFHSC will come through. I've seen folks posting their invites, and I feel like the outcast standing near the punch bowl at prom while everybody else is dancing 🙂

Have you tried joining the sloppy drunks in the corner? It's pretty chill back here.

Got a mass-email that Morrison Child and Family Services Doctoral Internship is ending this year and not accepting interns.

Got a mass-email that Morrison Child and Family Services Doctoral Internship is ending this year and not accepting interns.

A student in my cohort got this same email and was so pissed. I'm sorry- that's such a bummer! Looks like this is the second site mentioned on this thread to pull this move.

 

[prisonpsych2020]

I don’t think they’ve sent out rejections yet. Same with FMC Fort Worth. I assumed since no invite and the USA jobs application closes today = rejection from the BOPs that I haven’t heard from. I’m guessing rejections come later? Unclear because it looks like Butner and Terre Haute sent out rejections.

Every site is a bit different for when they send out rejections, but your thinking on the USAjobs app is likely accurate.

Has UAB confirmed your preferred interview date yet? I never received confirmation of my preferred date, and I have already scheduled another interview on the other date...

I did the same thing and haven't received confirmation yet

So I emailed APPIC about getting a refund for my application fee, and they said the refund is on its way. However, the credit cards that I used, I threw them away (they were the Visa cash rewards cards).
-__-

I'm tired of being poor and treating lost money as a catastrophe, even if it's only $20.

Got a mass-email that Morrison Child and Family Services Doctoral Internship is ending this year and not accepting interns.

That sucks! Why would sites pull out so last minute?

 

[psychlife19]

Got a mass-email that Morrison Child and Family Services Doctoral Internship is ending this year and not accepting interns.

Omg that was on my list and I decided not to apply last minute!

maybe because it’s end of the year and they are looking at budgets? Although I think fiscal year ended in september, so you would think they would pull out then...

 

[poodles4life]

Just got an email from California Medical Facility - Psychiatric Inpatient Internship, that they received my application. No other news!

 

[GradStudent2020]

Got a mass-email that Morrison Child and Family Services Doctoral Internship is ending this year and not accepting interns.

Oh, no! I interviewed with them and loved them. They are very committed to their mission.

 

[modestmousktr]

Oh, no! I interviewed with them and loved them. They are very committed to their mission.

I had also heard other very positive experiences about them, and some folks from my program have matched there before. Love child/adolescent trauma and CMHCs so super super bummed 🙁 🙁

Maybe post-doc!!

Thanks @psychlife19 @healthyu and everyone else for the empathy! Way easier to get this type of news when everyone is rooting for each other!

Sooooo, one rejection and one “oops we aren’t accepting students” so far fingers crossed my luck shifts next week!

 

[psychedyouout]

Has UAB confirmed your preferred interview date yet? I never received confirmation of my preferred date, and I have already scheduled another interview on the other date...

Nope, I haven't heard a thing! Hopefully, they'll get back to us soon

[TarahSerry]

Lots of Peds Psych tracks are sending out invitations, has anyone heard about Peds Neuro tracks for Baylor, Children's Michigan, Henry Ford or Emory? I'm hoping no news is good news for a few sites, but it's making me nervous...

I heard about Peds Neuro Tracks for Texas Children's/Baylor on Sunday and Emory Monday. I did not apply to Children's MIchigan or Henry Ford.

 

[Complex Figure]

Just got an email from California Medical Facility - Psychiatric Inpatient Internship, that they received my application. No other news!

I got the same email. Almost had a heart attack, but realized that their app was only due a week ago so it would be pretty ridiculous if they responded faster than other sites.

Congratulations! I’m doing my practicum there this year (but with children). Such a great training experience!

I'm sorry, this sucks! Would it be worth an email to explain that to them? Or to the credit card company?

Agreed! My heart sunk to my butt then rose back up when I read the whole thing.

I applied here, but haven't received an email. They emailed me a few weeks ago asking for my applicant code. I was hoping that would mean that they were interested. *Shrug*

Congrats though! I've heard it is a good training site for health psychology.
