Just got rejected from the UCSF Child and Adolescent Multicultural Training Program.

This process sucks. wishing us all lots of invites over the course of the next few days.

We are in a good boat, because SAME, and there’s a lot of us, haha! Looks like I’m the 4th (?) rejection from UCSF to post today!

Maybe even...... TOO MANY OF US? Maybe someone’s finger slipped and they accidentally rejected everyone.

96% joking.

I know someone who got an interview invite there today. Don't have any details though. I didn't apply there.

I know someone who also got rejected and also someone who got an invite. The rejection email definitely looked like a mass email but I am not sure how those who were invited got notified

I feel the same way. I get horrible service at my prac site and so I had my computer, my iPad, and my prac computer all refreshing my inbox today.

 

[InternshipUpdates2020]

congratulations! do you know if this was a personal or mass email (or know anything about invites potentially being sent out all at once or on a rolling basis)? I applied to the peds track but haven’t heard anything from them yet.

Thank you! I think it was a mass email but I am not 100% sure.

[phdnomad]

I got a rejection from Adult Track at UChicago. For the people who were successfully invited, did you lean more heavily towards research or clinical? I have really strong clinical experience in a PhD program but have been a very unproductive lab. Feeling super nervous about other sites now...

I have a strong research background, and I was rejected. I don't have a strong interest in assessment, and don't have many full batteries, so I wonder if that was a factor for me.

Has anyone received a rejection from FMC Lexington?
I saw the invites go out on this thread on 11/11 or 11/12 so I expected a rejection to soon follow, but received nothing.

You gotta hand it to psychologists...we know how to reframe "sorry, but you weren't good enough for our site" to sounding neutral or positive.

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...

Same here, I was thinking my lack of assessment experience was a factor.

I had 250+ assessment hours and no interview so I think maybe more factors were at play

It seems that STVHCS has several interview dates depending on emphasis area or mix of areas that you applied to. I had prematurely counted this site out as a probable decline due to the people who said they got invites for general track yesterday, but I got an invitation this morning, with different dates than others have reported!

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.
