Specialty Track or Site (e.g., for consortiums): Clinical Health Psychology in Primary Care (did not apply to this track, so this was a surprise to me 😛 - guess I better do some research), Severe Mental Illness
Interview Dates Offered: 1/8 and 1/15, 8:30-12:30pm, 12:30-4:30pm eastern time

p.s. They sent articles for SMI track to read and this is the first time I've seen that...kinda cool and also kinda intimidating?
 
Charleston rejection @ 12:25pm. This was one of 2 programs I applied to that I knew before submitting were a huge stretch; not in terms of competence, but training goals fit. I’m glad myself and the training committee mutually agreed on that 😆
Rejection here, too, but I was figuring that. That was my last site to hear back from so it's nice to just have closure so I can stop obsessively refreshing my e-mail. Now to just focus on the interviews I do have and finishing my dissertation.
 
Is anyone interviewing at University of Chicago- Med on Friday, 12/18? If so, have you received Zoom links or an agenda... anything?

(In honor of years past) If & How you're staying sane: Uhhhhhh.... great question...
 
Just heard from Cleveland State University's Counseling Center that they will be withdrawing from the match and will not be taking any interns for this next year. Has anyone else run into this with a site, and if so, have you asked if it's possible to get our application fee back? (It might be petty, but also, grad student budget so I want money back 😕)

Response from APPIC in case people are curious: "Through AAPI, unfortunately no refunds will be issued for any reason including a program withdrawing from the match. You can reach out to the program directly to see if there is anything they can do on their end, but we cannot offer a refund on our end. It's up to them to decide when to withdraw essentially, they didn't let us know they wanted to withdraw before you submitted your application, so the refund is up to them for that reason."
 
Anyone heard from the Battle Creek VA about the general track yet? Or the Hefner VA in Salisbury North Carolina about the clinical track? The date is tomorrow, but I figured I’d check and see.

Rejection from Jesse Brown VA Neuro track. Their subject line said “Jesse Brown VAMC Interview Notification” and my heart jumped up with excitement.....only to plummet down several seconds later when I read in the body of the email that it was actually a rejection, despite the word “interview” being in the subject line. 🤦‍♀️😭🙄

That's messed up! Sorry you had to experience that.
 
Has anyone received rejections from these sites?:

Henry Ford - adult neuro
Denver Health - clinical neuro
Icahn Mt Sinai - neuro focus

? Haven't heard anything from them but have seen that a couple people have received invites
 
Would value some advice - I have a scheduling conflict and am not able to make the two individual faculty interviews I was offered at a site I am interested in. When replying to ask if there are other dates available, is it best to be up front that "I have already committed to interviews with other sites at these times" or keep it vague like "I unfortunately have a scheduling conflict and am unable to meet at these times." Thanks!
