Official rejection from University of Texas-Austin CAPS 12/14/2020 at 1:35 pm; Mass email that was not brutal.

Me too

 

[Psyched900]

I don't know what the "right" choice is but in a similar situation I said something like, "I'm very excited about this opportunity and thank you. Unfortunately I already confirmed an interview at another site for this time. Is there any possibility of rescheduling..." and then reiterated my interest again. The reason I went with the specific reason rather than vague is I wanted it to be clear that it's a very serious conflict (one that they would also want someone to respect if the roles were reversed). The TD replied with understanding, but of course YMMV. Good luck!

*ETA: and the TD worked with me to find a suitable different time. Fingers crossed you get the same outcome.

Thank you so much! I definitely appreciate hearing the reasoning behind being more specific - you're right that it demonstrates commitment/respect for the process. I definitely want to convey that and be as up front as possible. Fingers crossed here too!!

Not yet. I briefly spoke with Carla and she said she would call me back but did not take interview date requests.

Same. Hopefully we are all available when we receive the calls - doesn't do any good for her to leave a message. I can envision this being an annoying process.

Rejection from FGCU counseling center (email today at 3:35 pm EST)

 

[neuronanatomy]

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

Still waiting on Henry Ford and Icahn Mt. Sinai as well. Henry Ford has rolling applications; they have sent out two mass invitation emails already (a few weeks apart), but might be sending out another one, who knows. 🙂 Icahn Mt. Sinai has emailed about extending their notification deadline to December 18th. 🤞🤞

I am also still waiting! If I do not hear from them by 5PM, I might reach out.

It seems several people have posted their sites tried to send invites through the portal and there was an error and they didn't actually go out. Could this be the case with this site I wonder?

Same here! Congrats on getting a spot!

Likewise!!

Anyone heard from university of Florida counseling center?

I haven't yet, still waiting. I know they said we are supposed to hear from them by tomorrow, I believe.

Did anyone decide to reach out to KK John Hopkins or are we still going to wait it out? 😅

 

[str122]

Has anyone not heard back from NYU Rusk rehabilitation yet?

I've been assuming rejection but haven't heard for sure either way.

 

[Newropsych]

I am not sure if a new thread should be started for this regarding interview questions but I am wondering if anyone has any advice about how to prepare for Neuropsych specific case vignettes and/or writing samples that you may be given on an interview? Or if you have already had interviews with Neuropsych vignettes/samples, what was asked of you?

IIRC when I was interviewing, I had a mix of interpreting scores from data sheets, talking about differential diagnoses between various syndromes, and writing/typing up summary and recommendations (after being given the history and results). As long as you can walk them through your process of thinking, I think you’ll be fine.

Also if I didn’t know something, I was honest and let them know, but reframed it to say their site could give me experience with whatever it was [emoji4] hope this helps!

Anyone received a rejection from CHOC yet?

I heard from Amita to interview. I applied to their pediatric health psych track. I have not heard from CHOC so I am assuming a rejection 🙁

 

[psyd_lady]

Me too... I’m starting to think that you and I applied to all the same sites! 🤣❤️

hahaha we must have good taste! (mostly). I have a feeling I'll be interviewing with some of the same people too lol. I saw the same applicant in two of my interviews so far. Are you still waiting on many sites? I'm waiting on 2 😭

I’m on the same boat for Icahn and Denver health! Crickets on my end! Let me know if you hear something. This whole waiting around is toying with my emotions worse than a toxic ex boyfriend.
