Performance-based questions, such as describe a situation in which x, a time when y, how you would approach z, etc. Essentially, how you think through and navigate a situation - process being equally or more important than any conclusion/solution.
 
Hi everyone, DMs have slowed a lot which is great as my interview/travel schedule this week has picked up a lot. Tomorrow's interview is on the opposite coast from where I was yesterday and makes 3/3 on different time zones for interviews this week. I hope you all are faring better in the logistics department. I will update the master list Friday late/Sat early plane wifi willing!

Folks, the master list is up to date as of 12/12 thanks to the tireless efforts of @NeuroFLAIR who also started underlining the notification dates to highlight invite "waves."

The work of NeuroFlair has me thinking that we should somehow suggest to the next internship cohort the possible use of something like a locked Google spreadsheet for the master list so it can be organized, sortable, and editable by more than one person so that it's as up to date as possible.

I just had a site contact me, say they had a follow up question for me, and requested to set up a time to speak with them for like 10 minutes. What does this mean? Has this happened to anyone?

They just may have questions about something in your application. Nothing to worry about. Once site once contacted me in regards to my masters degree as it was unclear to them if it was in Psychology or not.

This sounds like a great idea and thank you both for tracking all of this at a time we are all losing our minds a bit 🙂 You rock!

Thanks @Grenth and @NeuroFLAIR for your active role in this! Much appreciation. I am also wondering for the future internship cohort on the locked Google spreadsheet, if it would be helpful to separate them into categories (i.e., UCC, VA, hospitals, community centers, etc.) versus a long alphabetical list. Just something to consider.
 
Oh boy, I am ready for the stream of rejections today

I'm wearing all black but that's more a function of the fact that I only wear black anyways. I think you can look professional and proFRESHional at the same time.

I'm more concerned about the shoe situation. Why are heels still a thing, they are not conducive to site tours. I got a short stacked heel but I might hit up a nice boot instead.

"ProFRESHional" LMAO. I needed that!

I knew someone who interned there (as an M.Ed. but still) and they loved it. Best of luck!

Me too! But for Peds/Clinical. Would they wait this long to just send rejections? Not that you would know [emoji2957]! But damn, that would be in poor taste, since they sent out invites Mid November! Good luck to you!
