I'm so glad that other people are talking about this...because I'm 100% planning on letting my cat sit with me. He sat in my lap throughout my entire dissertation proposal (#zoom) and no one was the wiser. I wouldn't feel right leaving him out of this. 🤣

They should have honorary PhDs for our furry companions. My cat is the only reason I haven't been driven completely bananas.

congrats on the interviews!!
 
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?

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.

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?

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.

I just received a rejection in response to my inquiry, so it looks like it's a toss up! At least the wait is finally over!

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?
 
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.

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.

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!
