This was one of my favorite sites on paper. Someone from my program was a neuro intern there a few years ago and absolutely loved it. Congrats!! I'm both envious of and psyched for you!

Rejection: Nationwide Children's Hospital Ohio - Neuropsychology Track.

"...thank u, next"

 

[NeuroJaguar]

Sorry to hear that 🙁 But no worries, I am expecting my first rejection tomorrow! Their deadline is the 15th to send out notifications. Pretty sure I will get the rejection from UFHSC too.

Thank you! And yup, it happens... Based on statistics, I'm likely getting 9-12 rejections, so bring them on.

 

[threetieredtree]

Rejection: Nationwide Children's Hospital Ohio - Neuropsychology Track.

"...thank u, next"

im also expecting a rejection...so far heard back from one out of 15 sites and it was a rejection (Minnesota). We have to stay positive!!!

It seems like Training Directors are notifying later this year? Or is it just me and my anxiety?

I made a list of interview notification dates for my sites based off of last year's thread. From those dates, I'm anticipating to hear back next week with a lot of sites. However one site got back to me 2 weeks earlier than last year so I'm an entire bottle of anxiety right now unsure if I will hear back before next week with my sites. Also really ready to get an invite!

Anyone else get an invite to McLean Hospital's reception at ABCT? I'm trying to figure out if it was sent to all applicants, or if I can take this as a good sign.

 

[Mountain Climber]

also, @Uhachill
Samesies. I felt better after looking at last year's dates at the beginning of the 2019 thread - it indicated that most of my sites don't reach out until December.

 

[PVic]

Anyone else not heard yet?

I interviewed on Tuesday over the phone. They mentioned not offering in-person interviews for two more weeks. I don't think they'll send rejections until then.

ah so I’m assuming if we haven’t heard about a phone interview, it’s likely a rejection.

It could be, but some places will do a rolling process. Not the norm, but not all that uncommon.

[psychfan1]

Do you know if this was a mass email or personal email?

Mine seemed like a mass email (it wasn’t personalized with my name or anything). And then they assigned interview times which was included in the email. So it seemed like everyone with the same interview date was sent a mass email - if that makes sense?

I also got invited to their ABCT meeting. I am wondering if it just a mass email to everybody who applied to their program or not, as well.

[PVic]

ah so I’m assuming if we haven’t heard about a phone interview, it’s likely a rejection.

Also, if it makes you feel better, JMU is notoriously selective about in-person interviews and only pick 15 candidates from phone interviews.

 

[Balenciaga]

I also got invited to their ABCT meeting. I am wondering if it just a mass email to everybody who applied to their program or not, as well.

Yeah, I want to be excited about it, but it could be nothing. It seems like it could potentially be massive if they invited everyone, right? I wonder if they did their initial screen or something and invited everyone who passed that. The application was only due a few days ago, so I doubt they have done anything in-depth. The guest list is private, though, which kind of makes me think they didn't send it to everyone? Maybe it's just wishful thinking.

I got it too. My sense is that they invited everyone.

Anyone else get an invite to McLean Hospital's reception at ABCT? I'm trying to figure out if it was sent to all applicants, or if I can take this as a good sign.

I got this two days after I submitted the APPI (submitted on 10/30, invite received early morning Friday 11/1). I assumed it was sent to all applicants since (a) they probably didn't actually look at my app yet and (b) the text of the invite said "Applicants for McLean Doctoral Psychology Internship Program 2020-2021 are welcome! Attendance does not impact admission decisions."

 

[modestmousktr]

Also, I found something I call the "Oh F--- List" (OFL). It's all of the APA-accredited sites where apps are due 12/02 or later. So if 12/02 rolls around, and you have no interviews, and you say, "oh f---", you can just reference the OFL.

Ah man. I should've known not to get excited.

 

[parametric]

Ah man. I should've known not to get excited.

I hear you!

Ugh, by this date last year 6 of my 13 sites had sent out interview notifications and I've only heard from 2 so far. Making me very anxious. I know the Minneapolis VA will be a bit later since their "application received" said they wouldn't be meeting to discuss apps til 11/18, but U Chicago Med has notified by 11/9 for at least the last three years, and the rest seem to historically notify within the first two weeks of Nov... but nothing I can do but chill and wait. And remember to keep an eye on my damn phone... lol
