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?

Maybe call the site’s front desk or something?
 
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!

Has anyone who is interviewing at Barrow Institute at Phoenix Children's this week received their itinerary/agenda/links?

Yes! Interviewed there yesterday and got my schedule and details on Friday. Dan White is the program coordinator. He sent a document with a single link and then managed our movement through breakout rooms.

Lol right! It was a mass email, but for the people they rejected they also accidentally sent an email for an invitation. So it may be promising news if you haven’t heard back yet!

(In honor of years past) If & How you're staying sane: Catching up on The Crown
 
Whenever you need me, I'll be here. That's right, it's your old AuntSue, again. While I might have stayed out of your notifications, I've always got my watchful eye on your successes and failures.

Your AuntSue is still waiting on a couple of likely rejections and is reckoning with her place in a world that evaluates "fit" from paper, but the camaraderie you all have shown is a balm for my aching professional heart.

For those with a pile of interviews, iron your blazers and sweatpants and lock your cats in the bathroom, you've got to give this your all. For those who have found themselves with nothing but rejections, ranging from heartfelt to downright dismissive, cry for a bit, wash your face, and then get started on a new game plan. Your AuntSue promises that this isn't the end of the world, even if it might feel like it right now. Regardless, I wish I could pull each of you into my bosom for a Dec. 15th hug.

As always, I'm SO EXCITED for every single one of you, interview count be damned.

I haven't either. Today I finally decided to email the TD and I got an auto-response saying she will be out of office until the end of December.

Sorry to bring this up again, but anyone not hear from Mount Washington Pediatric Hospital (Neuro Track)?
