I saw Copper Lake/Lincoln Hills is on the list and it specifically says juvenile, so it sounds like it would be perfect for you! (Just in case you didn’t see it on the list). But yes, lots of college counseling on there.
There are about 1% of folks with ~10 interviews who don't match. I don't think this necessarily suggests that the folks who did not match acted like weirdos. I could easily see someone who applied to all competitive/desirable sites slipping through the cracks since everyone fights for those spots.
I am finally part of the 1%! Ha
omg exactly, like not even one of the sites i interviewed with ranked me higher? either i need to really practice my interview skills or i just have really bad luck, or both. im looking forward to emailing the sites tomorrow to get any feedback i can use for Round Two
hey thank you!!
good lookin out thank you! 🙂
oh yikes!I was googling the Lincoln Hils and Hazelden because they looked intriguing and found this on the Lincoln Hills internship from 2017
Report depicts nightmarish Lincoln Hills psychology intern program
'Interns at this site have had few stable and enduring role models,' accrediting agency sayswww.postcrescent.com
"Four directors have overseen the complex's psychological internship program since August 2015. Each of the past three abruptly left amid misconduct allegations that included crude behavior with interns and producing erroneous intern evaluations. Two have surrendered their state licenses to practice. The third has been referred to licensing authorities for investigation.
The facilities' chief psychologist, Vincent Ramos, became the internship program’s director in August 2015. Three months later, he was fired for taking pictures of interns in a hotel room while wearing only his underwear and a T-shirt. He surrendered his state license to practice in March.
Wilson Fowle became the program’s interim director after Ramos but lasted just a month before a misconduct investigation prompted his departure, too. Internal investigators say he claimed to see inmates on days he didn't work. He retired before the investigation was complete and agreed last year to surrender his psychology license."
Has anyone that applied there this round able to offer any insight on how things seem now?
done enough of those now to last a lifetimeGood idea!
Correct, we do not have to submit supplemental info! I read on the NMS website that if training directors want anything else, they have to communicate that through email.
It seems like you only have to delete designations that you had not sent or ones to sites that have withdrawn from phase II...from what I gather you cannot delete designations already sent in phase I.
Someone from my program interviewed at Marcus and really liked it, but it was for a different track. It was their top choice, so I think that says a lot about the program!
I didn't match in Phase I a few years back, and I'm happy to share what I did. Honestly, I spent that first day crying it out. I was miserable and I let myself be miserable. (I also talked to my TD, who was honestly useless, I think he was reading the APPIC website to me.) The next day I met a friend who did match for lunch, and it felt good to vent and review the list of sites with someone else, and enjoy her excitement about her site. I also posted about not matching on Facebook and talked to friends both inside and outside my program about it. That was harder than I expected in some ways, because I think I really did feel a sense of shame about not matching. However, if I hadn't done that, I wouldn't have gotten some really good feedback from my friends about how much they enjoyed working with me and knew from their experiences in clinic and practicum with me that I was a good clinician and that the system really did suck sometimes. (I think the toughest thing was going to practicum and knowing that one of my fellow students matched to my #1 site, knowing full well that she was actually kind of disappointed with it because she didn't want to move that far away.) That feedback really helped to keep me going when I absolutely wanted to throw in the towel on applying - it was like having someone do my cognitive restructuring for me. 🙂 I also did try to leave some time for self-care -seeing friends, eating good food, watching silly TV.
Oh my god thank you so much for sharing this story!! It really means a lot.
Awesome! Thank you!
this is really helpful thank you!
I emailed all 19 of my initial application sites for feedback and only received feedback from 1 site and it was nothing I could actually change. It seems like everyone is swamped with this process (training directors included) so I'm not holding my breath for feedback.
i emailed all the sites i interviewed at, heard back from about half so far. nothing useful. really stings when they say how much they could tell i was enthusiastic/interested...but i also think for me a big part of the problem was applying to sites/types of programs that were more competitive than i realized (or my mentors did)
yeah i was thinking that too..i didnt have any mediocre sites they were all intense..likely has something to do with it
That's what I gathered as well!
I don’t think so because I anxiety-applied to two extra sites after my original submission in phase 1 and it was like that too
Oh, helpful, thank you! I found it weird we (applicants) don’t have a separate portal for phase 2, at least you guys do.
I am applying to 11 sites (most VAs and a few hospitals). I am willing to move, so that allows for more options that might not be feasible for others. But I agree that you should only apply to sites that you are interested in attending! I read that there is no real recommended number of sites to include for phase II. I wouldn’t worry!
As applications come to a close tomorrow morning, I think some may find it helpful to post about interview notifications as they come (if people feel comfortable, willing, and/or have the time lol) given that sites do not have to notify us if we do not receive an interview. I wish everyone the best of luck in this process and the whirlwind that I am sure the next two weeks will be. Don't forget to engage in self-care, we got this!
)Maybe not right now 🙂)) but I imagine very fast given the rankings need to be submitted in just over 2 weeks. I think my friend who participated in Phase 2 heard back within a couple days. Good luck!Does anyone have a sense of how quickly sites in Phase II begin to contact interviewees? (like for example how bout now...now, or now, or now, or now...
