APPIC Interview Invitation Thread (2021)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Did invites go out for all of the Jackson and UT San Antonio tracks today? Or just some?
Regarding UT San Antonio, I'm not super sure but my invite seemed to be more connected to the CBT track. They have open houses for each track it seems, so I wouldn't be surprised if the child/adolescent or primary care tracks come later. The email has the link for a program overview video and zoom links for the CBT track open houses, so I wouldn't be surprised if the other tracks are getting the logistics of their links together.

Primary care were sent today. I imagine child might’ve gone out too, but that’s the only one that hasn’t been posted yet.
 
Pace University's UCC interview notification was today - I've seen one person from earlier in the thread get an invitation. Anyone else still waiting?
We're still waiting over here and others I know who have applied have not heard anything either as well. We're all in the same boat lol.

Me! I saw that too...IDK if they're running behind because of COVID and the end-of-semester rush. I was thinking of emailing them later this week (or maybe next week) if I still don't hear back.
 
I know one person said they had heard from UNC SOM with an assigned interview date. Has anyone else heard?
 
I previously saw some postings for several tracks at The Mass General/Harvard Medical School, but haven't seen the BMED track posted yet. Has anyone received an invite for this track or know about others who have been notified?

I also heard back this afternoon -- as a heads up, they did not assign dates based on interview preferences stated in cover letter, which threw me a bit! I'll keep fingers crossed for you! 🙂
 
I am not really taking that into consideration when ranking sites. I feel like they are a good program and that they have a plan to address it. I would be surprised if they don’t fully address everything and get off probation. I’m not sure if that’s naive of me to think though 🤷🏻‍♀️

You will want to carefully consider the potential implications of completing an unaccredited internship (that’s the worst case scenario), and decide if you can live with that prior to ranking such a site. There is no harm in interviewing to see what the site has to offer and hear what they have to say about their plan moving forward.

What track did you hear back for?
 
Email from Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo stating they moved their interview notification date from 12/10 to 12/16. Just a heads up since it went to my junk mail!
 
Congrats guys! 🙂 Same as well. Have you responded to the poll? I completed, but when I click back on the link I don't see my answers saved. I'm sure they probably went through, but wondering if others have the same experience.
Just checked and same here-I think we’re okay!
 
So i know where to find the statistics for how many people match vs not match per school per the entire system... is there any statistics about the percentage of people getting their top 3 vs percentage of people getting top 5 etc.? or the average number of placements people rank? I am unable to find this info!

This should be available on the APPIC website. These data are collected each year.

I'm waiting to hear from MGH BMED also.
 
For those of you who are interviewing at VA Ann Arbor... I applied to multiple tracks like they recommended in their brochure. They recently just emailed me to confirm my schedule and attached a few documents "about programs at their site" (according to them) and both documents are about only one of the programs I applied to. Is it safe to say that is the only rotation I'm likely able to rank? Did anyone receive documents about more than of their rotations?

Yes, I was attached information from both the tracks I applied to. Congrats on the interview and good luck!
 
Anyone gotten rejections from Kaiser Oakland, Kaiser San Diego, or LA VA? I see offers but no rejections. I haven’t gotten anything so (unless someone says otherwise) am counting those as 3 more rejections 🙁

I got a similar set of materials and they covered two of the tracks that I applied to (and two match codes were included in one of the documents). I’m not entirely sure what this means at this point. They’ll hopefully mention what tracks applicants are meant to rank during orientation or confirm that emailed materials reflect tracks the applicant is still considered for.

So I applied to the neuro and Gero neuro/rehab and I got confused because the info looked like it was only for the gero rehab. I asked to confirm and she said I was actually being considered for both and they just didn’t have documents for the general neuro one. So you could always just ask!
 
True true. I was considering Match policies (listed below--italics from original email) in part because it will be helpful to hear back from them as I am scheduling other interviews/open houses!

"Applicants should contact a site to inquire about their interview status only if they haven't heard from that site by the morning of the day after its published interview notification date. Applicants should never make assumptions about their interview status with a site until they have received the notification from that site. In the event that you don't receive an interview notification in a timely manner, then (1) check your "junk mail" or "spam" folder to see if it ended up there, and (2) contact the site the day after that site's interview notification date to inquire about your status."
I just dug through the Match newsletter, and read that they extended their deadline to Nov. 9th (3 more days). That could explain the delay. That said, if you're waiting on them to schedule other interviews, I think it would be fine to reach out. Technically they are past the listed date.

Don’t count them out just yet. Oakland is definitely sending rolling invites - a cohort member received hers last Friday and I got mine today for the child and adult track. Stay positive 🙂
