FBOP update. I called the HR office re: OF-5. She said since we wouldn't start until August-ish, 120 days was appropriate. She also said it doesn't really matter what you put there :]

Do we know what the physical examination piece is? I would think just the drug test but am curious if anyone has a different impression.

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 rejected from Kaiser Oakland, so there’s still hope yet!

No, I didn't ask about that. I would assume it's just the drug test. I did ask about the panel interview- the email from the TD said there was a panel interview when you did the CVA. Due to COVID, HR said they weren't sure if that was still happening. She said she would call me with further details on the CVA, location, etc. For now, all they needed from me was just the signed OF-5 form.

Are we sure there’s a physical component? None of the emails I received have mentioned this.

Always rank in order of your true preference. The Match works for you in this way. Don’t try to guess what your sites are doing/how they will rank you.

There seems to be some confusion about the matching algorithm every year. Please rank according to your preference, not how well you think you did in interviews. Read through the following for a better idea

APPIC > Match > FAQs > Applicants > Matching Process and Results

I have also heard this from multiple supervisors and people involved in the match (during presentations about it). They basically said that it messes up the way the algorithm is truly supposed to work and people end up not matching (whereas they would have matched if they had left their rankings the way they wanted to rather than how well they thought they did on interviews/which sites liked them most). This is a truly crazy process, but I've heard and seen the "system work" multiple times (even with low numbers of interviews - all it takes is one!).
 
Has anyone heard from these:
Edith rogers bedford neuro
Tampa VA neuro
Canadaigua VA neuro

Haven’t heard from Icahn. Canandaigua extended their application deadline until today.
 
is anyone else waiting to hear from The Village for Families & Children? Their notification date was 12/4 and I don't recall them extending their deadline. Also any feedback on what to even say in an email to their DCT would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks 🙂

I didn’t apply to neuro at Canandaigua but I haven’t heard back from them. I think their date is still friday? Or does anyone know if they changed it because of the extended deadline?

I'm still waiting on Tampa & Icahn as well! Crossing my fingers, but both of their notification dates on APPIC are next week, so I'm thinking we are going to continue on in suspense for awhile 🙁

I heard from Edith Nourse Rogers Memorial VAMC yesterday. The email did not specify track but I only applied to the Neuro track. We were expected to respond with date preferences by 12PM EST today. They could very well be doing waves; it is difficult to tell.
 
Has anyone heard anything from either:
UC Davis counseling center
American University counseling center

I actually just got an offer from Edith Nourse Rogers VA this morning. It was a personalized email that I got at 9:40 am EST. It looked like someone else got one yesterday so they might be doing it in a rolling manner! Best of luck!

That's reassuring that I'm not the only one! I was hoping that since it's the first interview date they may just be taking time to get everything finalized but also seeing folks on here who have had their emails sent to VA spam boxes had me nervous they didn't get my confirmation for the date 😳
