For those of you waiting for Texas A&M, are yall waiting another day before reaching out? I know the deadline is today, yet in their confirmation of application email, they stated they were moving and may not be able to make the deadline. however, some people have heard from them. Guidance on what yall are doing or what would be best practice?
Click to expand...
I am also waiting. A girl in my cohort got an interview via phone call and had thought they were doing the notifications in rounds. Given their email stated they may be a bit behind due to moving I was going to give until the end of the week and then reach out about my status/feedback. Hopes this helps!
 
Got my first rejection from Jackson 🙁 I really don't think I'm gonna get in anywhere.

Thank you very much for your interest in the Jackson Health System in affiliation with the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine Psychology Internship Program. We received many impressive applications, including yours, for the 2020-2021 Psychology Internship Program. However, after careful review of all the candidates, I regret to inform you that we are not able to offer you an interview at this time.
 
UCLA Stress, Trauma, and Resilience rejection. I just found a giant, glaring error in my AAPI. Somehow I didn't notice the section that asks you to describe your group therapy facilitation experience, or the question below it about theoretical orientation. Oh well- too late now.

Rejection from University of New Mexico School of Medicine.

This is my 6th rejection, not one interview received yet
Click to expand...
I am in the same boat 6 rejections and no interviews out of 18 applications. Trying to hold off on panicking for now if it makes you feel any better I've heard a lot of the rejections come first or at least that's what I am telling my self...

USAJobs for BOP positions posted on their website whether or not you obtained "best qualified" needed to move on!! I just checked my profile so definitely jump on there to see! Good luck everyone. I applied to MDC-LA and Terminal Island but I don't think Terminal Island has announced anything yet (super annoying).

Where on the website is this located?

I also have 6 rejections, 0 interviews, out of the 15 sites I've applied to. It's really discouraging to have all that happen in a row. Trying not to feel like I made some critical mistake. This process is so rough

Same here! It seems like they're probably going to go through these invitations in waves, trying to fill up the first date with the first wave, then second date with the second wave, etc.

Me too! My first rejection was from my current practicum site due to an hours technicality...not exactly the best way to start. Trying to remember its an arbitrary hoop to jump through and not always a representation of our ability as clinicians.

I would email TDs at whatever sites you haven't heard from with this info ASAP.

I missed two calls from Massachusetts today and I'm wondering if either/both were from UMass! No one left a voicemail...

I signed into my account that I made on USAJobs and then saw that my status changed from "received" to "referred". Then I clicked on the job posting itself and it brought me to a screen where it told me what qualification I obtained from the questions I answered. I think it might have just been done for MDC-LA though because I have friends who applied to other BOPs and their statuses haven't changed.
 
I know some had inquired about Coatesville VA Medical Center. According to the recent APPIC email, It looks like they will be notifying applicants of interviews by Friday, December 6th.

I missed the call, too, but they left a vm. Maybe call back the numbers and just ask why you received the call? Or Google the numbers and find out where they were from?
 
Hey everyone! I hope all of you are weathering this stressful time well. Has anyone heard, or is anyone still waiting, to hear from Barrow Neurological Institute for the pediatrics/clinical child track? It’s one of my top sites and I’ve seen others have gotten an invite for neuro. I hate this anxiety! Had to check (again) 😉. Good luck everyone!

Good idea! I had never considered this was an option. I just emailed my DCT to ask what he thought. Thanks for suggesting this. Luckily, I somehow have interview offers for 3 sites, so I am feeling extra glad and extra grateful they could overlook this mistake! Wonder how many lists it may have booted me from, though. Ack!

Thank you again 🙂

Was going to cry in a little ball re: UCLA et al., got invited to UCD right after! Folks, I had seen previous posts about UC Davis Children's and assumed I was rejected. I think they are sending in waves.

Method of Invitation (Phone call, personal/mass email, snapchat): snap chat

(In honor of last year) If & How you're staying sane: with all of my rejections, at this point, i am solely relying on the co-regulation of those around me, hahaha i haven't gotten anything done today.
