APPIC Interview Invitation Thread (2021)

[neuropsychnerd15]

Anyone interviewing at Coatesville VA tomorrow?
If so, in the email with interview details, the director said she had included a "shortened version of their brochure with sample schedule, living in the area and federal benefits." My email did not include any of that... Did anyone else's?

 

[helpfulpsychfiance]

Still waiting as well

For what it's worth, UF sent their invites at 3:50pm last year.

Finally received Bellevue rejection! They sting a lot less when you’ve known they’re coming for a month 🙂

I got my Bellevue rejection just now. It was a very nicely crafted email. Respectful and not insulting at all. I read it and smiled because I would still apply to that site in the future, just because the email was so nice.

 

[doctorpineapple123]

Anyone heard from NYCCC?

No!! Anxiously waiting

Official Site Name: Kennedy Krieger Institute/Johns Hopkins Center for Child and Family Traumatic Stress
Date Invitation Received: 12/15
Method of Invitation (Phone call, personal/mass email, Snapchat): An email in response to my inquiry about interview notifications
Specialty Track or Site (e.g., for consortiums): Center for Child and Family Traumatic Stress
Interview Dates Offered: 1/11, 1/21, 1/25

I know this particular site has had a million questions asked about it. So in case this is at all helpful to anyone: I emailed them yesterday evening (12/14) asking if there was any news since their notification date as 12/11. They emailed today in response to that email inviting me to an interview. So maybe go ahead and ask? Or hopefully everyone will be hearing back one way or another today.

Congrats! Did you email the TD?

I haven't heard from them either!!

thanks for sharing!! I looked at some of the APPIC interview threads from past years and it looks like they've notified applicants sometime past the interview notification date, so I'm hoping they're just running a little behind and that this does not mean I have been rejected, but who knows! I may email the TD to check in.

Arg RIGHT. I mean I hope mass emails or communications are coming out soon either way. It sucks waiting.

Okay everyone, I am in a predicament and need advice if anyone has any. I am again having an issue where a site is not receiving my email responses. I have emailed three times (in response to different email follow-ups) and have left voicemails on the phone numbers they have given me. They are somehow not getting any of my messages as they left a message to me today saying they would give up my spot on Thursday if they don't hear from me. I don't know what else to try!! I emailed my DT for advice but he hasn't responded yet. Does anyone have any other ideas to deal with this?

 

[Mogwai2017]

Rejection from Napa State Hospital. Glad this part is almost over!

Same RIP

 

[Psycheanon]

Rejection from NorthWell Health Staten Island in spam. For my neuro peeps do you have any recommendations for those that received 4 or fewer interviews and may be going into phase II? Trying to stay optimistic but feeling like I need to improve in some areas due to the limited # of interviews I have received.

That SUCKS! Could you make a new email address (gmail?) and email them from there, explaining the issue? Good luck!!!

Have you tried emailing from an alternate email address? For example, your personal email address instead of a school email address?

I would try contacting them from a different email account or from a different number. It might be that your email account might be triggering a spam blocker, which is common if you are contacting VA’s specifically.

Has anyone heard from Montefiore about the adult track??

Do you have another email address you can try emailing from? Perhaps something about the address you are currently using is not getting through.

** oops, I see others have already suggested this! apologize for the redundancy!

Has anyone heard from Montefiore about the adult track??

Yes, I received an invite last Friday. Not sure if they still might be filling spots or not though

Maybe call the site’s front desk or something?

 

[clinpsychintern]

Thank you all for your helpful responses!! When I posted I had already tried from both my personal and work emails AND from two different phone numbers as their number seemed to be blocking one of mine. I ended up trying a third email account (a non-gmail account) and they received that one. So if anyone runs into this, try to contact them from a completely different email platform (Outlook worked and Gmail did not)! Added unnecessary stress to this process lol.

*Edit to add that this was not a VA site; I've heard there have been issues with VA sites but this was not which is why I was particularly confused!

 

[PsychStudent0218]

Invite from San Quentin State Prison. Thought it was a rejection for sure. Finally!

I just got this rejection. Congratulations! I had a friend interview there last year and she said the TD and interns were lovely and that the interns seemed super happy there! Best of luck! 🤗
