Anyone hear from Geisinger peds? If so, integrated or hospital

I applied to their Neuro track and haven’t received anything yet. Though others for the track may have. Who knows.

Internship training director here. I've seen a lot of panic from applicants on here and I want to assure you that many sites send out notifications for different tracks at different times. If nobody has heard anything from the track you applied to, there's a good chance invites have not been sent. Sites handle sending rejection notifications in different ways, but if it's past their notification deadline, you can email the TD to inquire about your status. Do not contact them before that date, though. Good luck - it seems that the waiting periods of this process are the hardest parts (i.e., waiting for interviews, waiting for match day).

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.

Update. I heard. Only one date available by the time I got my email. But, its all good!

Just got my first rejection! Woo hoo! Boston VA via email.

 

[parametric]

UPMC-Western Psychiatric Hospital listed their notification date as 11/19 in their materials, and I was worried because I didn't hear anything. Got an email this morning that it was an error and they will actually notify everyone by the end of the day next Wednesday (11/27). Phew.

Did they add something about the "notify by 3 days thing?" - Does that mean the rest of us are waitlisted or does it mean that might be just their first batch of invitations before they move on? I have no knowledge about this process.

 

[Balenciaga]

Has anyone gotten a rejection from MGH yet? Specifically for the CBT track? I see someone got an interview, so I'm assuming I'm getting rejected there.

 

[bah1159]

I am hoping this is just adults and that other rotations will find out later. Gotta wait until we hear from other rotations!

Well, I am interested in the Adult track so..

From last year- maybe the same truth? Last year Peds came out first.

This process is the worst.

 

[Futre_Dr_Thia]

This process is the worst.

It totally is. I have my fingers crossed that you hear ASAP. It just sucks. I know this is a really prestigious site and you probably are a great fit.

I haven't heard anything from CBT track either

I haven't heard anything from CBT track either

Maybe I'm being pessimistic, but I'm guessing that I should just expect a rejection.

Thank you for the support, kind person. 😍

I'm pretty sure neuro had separate interview dates so it's possible. And we didn't get a reject yet so that's good!
