Anyone hear anything from Advocate Illinois Masonic yet? I know today is their deadline. Wishing everyone a week full of lots of interview offers!
 
Is Jackson Health System moving slowly with emails or have more people received emails than have posted it? I was expecting more of a mass effect with this site, as they generally invite and reject on the same day each year. Not that this necessarily translates to the unusual 2020, but it is nonetheless a pattern.

I think because they extended their deadline for application submission, it will take a bit more time to hear back about interviews or rejections.

I haven’t gotten anything but I assumed it meant rejection?
 
Not sure what to do.
I saw people got both offers and rejections from Penn Med Hershey and I haven’t heard anything? Should I contact them?

I applied but have not heard back

In terms of communicating with sites, one should behave as if this thread does not exist. A site has every right to send notifications up to their posted deadline - inquiring prior to this date may negatively impact the chances of an invite. While hindsight may tell a different story in a couple weeks, we simply cannot know what we don't know.
 
I haven’t gotten anything but I assumed it meant rejection?
I would be more confident with that assumption if I saw more posts, simply because there are many competitive applicants on this thread receiving interviews from great sites. I could certainly be wrong - we will likely find out soon - but it just seems unusual. Either way, good luck to all of those who are waiting!

I’ve seen people post about penn med Lancaster but not pen state Hershey. I’m also still waiting on penn Hershey!

Now that I officially received the OF-5 form (from HR, not DCT), has anyone received further direction as to what to write for when to report for duty??

thanks!
 
Same! But no word. I figured they’d notify later than last year since they wound up pushing the application deadline back a week
Ah, good call! I forgot this was one that pushed things back. I just checked and the notification date is now 12/14. It's a bummer to have to wait a few extra days!
 
Rejections from Saint John's Saint John's Child & Family Development Center (12/7), Samaritan Health Services (12/2), Nebraska Internship Consortium-UNL and Creighton (12/1), Primary Children's Hospital (11/23), and OHSU (11/18). Quite demoralizing, but oh well...it is what it is.

EDIT: Thanks for the support, folks 🙂. Hang in there! Hope your interview process is going ok.
