[WinterMountain91]

Thank you! It was one of my top sites but I'm still waiting on 15 more and freaking out. I'm especially nervous about Terminal Island because no one I know has heard anything from them so I don't know if they sent something out and I can count it as a rejection or if they are just behind... Super frustrating but I really was hoping for the California BOPs! Good luck to you too I hope to see you there on interview day!

Looks like I'll be joining you for the MDC interview (depending on dates). I am local(ish). Feel free to private message me if you need help finding lodging and/or travel. I would be happy to make myself as a resource if I can be of service 🙂

Yes, I got an interview offer on 11/25

Thank you! I assumed it was a rejection, but this is helpful. Congrats on your invite!

Alright, I've got lots of DMs to post. Thanks to everyone for making this such a lovely atmosphere, it gives me warm feelings about our internship cohort. I have a friend applying to medical residencies right now and apparently their SDN threads are so toxic that faculty actively warn them away from them which sounds like a big contrast from our thread. Anyway, I hope everyone's internship process is going well, invites have to be coming soon for those waiting.

Congrats!! I haven’t heard back from them so I am assuming I’m getting rejected.

 

[psychandspirit]

For those of you who applied to Napa State Hospital, have any of you received mail from them? I got something in the mail asking for my social security number for some sort of employment examination, and I'm very confused about how to make sense of this given that I haven't yet heard from them.

Got invited to CHLA for an interview. If anyone is going 01/11- link up.

I also received a notice in the mail. My internship support team has told me to hold off on replying. They are doing some investigation. Students in my program have applied and been accepted to Napa and never received letters like this. It’s possible that this was automatically generated when we completed the supplemental employment eligibility form but the school wanted to be sure before we send out that sort of info. I was told that if we don’t hear more by next week to reach out to the TD.

Maybe consult with your support team?

[passionfruit_cat]

As exciting as it is to get interviews, is anyone else feeling some betrayal by APA for making us go through this process? It seems like most people on this forum have applied to many sites, are spending a significant amount of money, and enduring a lot of stress just to find a best fit site. We are in the field of psychology goddangit, shouldn’t there be an easier way?!?! Internship is only one year of our training.

Yes, it's not a great system. I feel like we should be able to move into our internship year in a less expensive and less stressful way. We've already jumped through so many hoops and worked long hours without pay (or paid tuition to train/work without pay) for so many years, and now we're paying more money for applications, travel, professional suiting (even though most sites have a business casual rather than professional dress code), etc. The bright side is that I'm so over it that I have zero anxiety at this point. I'm just ready to get through this process and get back to full-time work that includes a paycheck (even if stipends are not a high hourly rate...I'll just be grateful for regular income again)! I say all this with frustration while also recognizing what a privilege it is that I've been able to attend grad school and that I'll eventually be qualified for my dream job - to be a licensed clinical psychologist. So I'm very fortunate and grateful and also recognize there is significant room for improvement of this process.

A big yes to both. This process is exhausting, expensive, and massively demoralizing. I think some programs/groups of people in academia think “hazing” type things like this are warranted in a cyclical way of passing down their pain and distress to the next generation Telling us “you’re going to match, don’t worry” Etc while also setting up a system where we get more rejections than interviews is hypocritical. Pretty much everyone already has anxiety from being in grad school, we don’t need more imposter-syndrome-triggers to keep us on our toes. But Toulouse,I appreciated your response. I’m aspiring to get to that level of interaction with my anxiety lol. I don’t want to worry about this nearly as much as I feel forced to.

To be fair, my lack of anxiety is primarily due to the sheer exhaustion of spending so many years in a PhD program (with all the things going wrong along the way). But I do hope the process will change for the better in coming years...

 

[InternshipUpdates2020]

I haven't seen anyone on here with Peds track and my friend is waiting.
Has anyone heard from Children's Mercy Peds track??

I think that Children’s Mercy Peds track sent out initial invitations towards the beginning of November.

I hear you. I feel the same way. I am just exhausted. As of this morning, I got another interview invite from a 2nd top site of mine. Thus far, I have 5 total. I feel like I am "checked out" at this point. Any further interviews (still waiting on 11 more sites) will be gravy on top. But I share your sentiments 100%.

So children’s mercy Kansas City’s notification date was yesterday. Is it confirmed they sent out offers in November so I can assume that’s a rejection? Or can I hold out hope?

 

[Starbrighter]

So children’s mercy Kansas City’s notification date was yesterday. Is it confirmed they sent out offers in November so I can assume that’s a rejection? Or can I hold out hope?

Not necessarily. There are a couple sites that have sent out both invites and rejections and I didn't hear anything either way. An intern at one of these sites told me they send out notifications in rounds, so to not be discouraged (*yet) 🙂

 

[futurepsychintern7]

I do. I am really excited tho. After receiving invites in the first week or so of this notification period then receiving rejections from 17 sites (all VAs), it has been discouraging. Then...finally getting 3 invites in one week, one being a VA...my spirits have been lifted. In total, I have 4 places to interview at, and one I am able to rank without interview. I am still waiting on 11 more sites to hear back from. One site in NYC invited me and will also be a vacation for my husband and I. We will spend 4 days there...tour around, etc. However, the cost is something I am keeping an eye on too. I have found some good airfare prices (Frontier has a roundtrip ticket to NYC for $75).

Ok guys I know the notification deadline hasn't passed for these sites but I wanted to see if anyone has heard anything (acceptances or rejections) because they aren't very talked about sites on the forum:

In other news...I distracted myself by 1. indulging in some local key lime pie, 2. made a turkey pot pie from scratch using leftovers 😛 I forgot how therapeutic cooking is. I used to make some killer flan and chocolate lava cake.

are you buying plane tickets/hotels now? I only bought for one of my interviews (at my top choice! The second coming of jesus will not keep me from attending lol) but for my other interviews, im nervous to buy because im still waiting to hear back from 7 more! Or did you buy tickets that can be cancelled, etc?
The vacation is a good idea!!

I bought one (ticket and hotel)...I did it out of excitement for my first invite. Afterward, I told myself to hold off until I have all of my ducks in a row. I am keeping a close eye on ticket prices etc., however, at the moment, I don't plan on buying anything until a couple of weeks.

A
are you buying plane tickets/hotels now? I only bought for one of my interviews (at my top choice! The second coming of jesus will not keep me from attending lol) but for my other interviews, im nervous to buy because im still waiting to hear back from 7 more! Or did you buy tickets that can be cancelled, etc?
The vacation is a good idea!!

I wish I would’ve waited, Ive had to cancel two flights now (luckily it was within the 24 hour window) since I’m having some back-to-back interviews.

I’m going to start getting the rest of my stuff booked this week as most of my deadlines will be this week.
