Unfortunately, Icahn Mount Sinai sent me a rejection It was the nicest one I have received but I am so sad and disappointed...
I'm still waiting too...I’m still waiting on them too! I have a friend interning there and rumor has it they were still reviewing applications into later this week, so sounds like the notifications will be sent out later rather than sooner.
I know this feeling. So sorry 😞♥ Hugs to you!Unfortunately, Icahn Mount Sinai sent me a rejection It was the nicest one I have received but I am so sad and disappointed...
In the same boat. Was really looking forward to that email and definitely feel like I put too much hope into it.Unfortunately, Icahn Mount Sinai sent me a rejection It was the nicest one I have received but I am so sad and disappointed...

An admin at the BOP I applied to asked for my availability and confirmed a date for me with my local BOP. So they did the coordinating.Did someone from the closest BOP to you contact you to schedule?? I’m still waiting to schedule mine😖
yup, sameHas anyone scheduled their CVA for the BOPs? I have been waiting for a reply and followed up but have not heard anything....
Which part do you mean? Do you mean the doling out of negative consequences for saying terrible things? I have definitely heard some troubling things in my master's level training but not in my doctoral training (at least within my specific program). I have heard troubling things while at prac, though nor typically from externs. Usually from the staff. So....
I just checked and can't believe it hasn't come yet.... Closure would be nice!I know people got invited to interview at Salt Lake City VA (congrats it looks AMAZING!), but has anyon gotten a rejection?
Kinda floating in the ether here...
Ask them what they prefer.Question: if a site (that offered you an interview) wants a proposal defended by ranking deadline, how do you let them know you proposed? Do you just inform them of the date during the interview? Or is it a more formal process?
I don't have great advice but my couple of thoughts: If you don't know how you would rank sites it may be preferable to not undermine your relationship with the sites you already have confirmed dates with (unless one of them already made it clear that they were open to moving things around, magically). If the sites's interviews are somewhat non-overlapping in time, you might suggest a hybrid to the "new" site and ask if you could piece together a couple of interviews over a couple of days (e.g. you could make afternoon times work with them if not mornings)? Not sure if TDs are open to that kind of thing. I would also reiterate my interest (and the availability you do have) and express your interest in interviewing with them should any possibilities open up. Good luck, that's a disappointing situation to be in!How have people been handling scheduling conflicts? One site that just offered me an interview a few days ago only offered one date that I already had another interview on. When I responded with a list of other available dates in January, they then offered me two other dates which were not on my list and which I already have interviews as well. I am panicking a little bit because I truly am interested in this site and would hate to not be able to interview, but I also would not at all feel comfortable reaching out to sites where I confirmed an interview date weeks ago and say that I can no longer make that date. I assume the answer is that if I am MORE interested in this site, then I should try to re-schedule with other sites, but I honestly have no idea how these sites all rank at this point. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Has anyone who received an interview at University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center gotten confirmation of their interview dates?
yes, I received an email confirmation earlier in the week.Has anyone who received an interview at University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center gotten confirmation of their interview dates?

Very helpful-definitely going to suggest the hybrid interviewsI don't have great advice but my couple of thoughts: If you don't know how you would rank sites it may be preferable to not undermine your relationship with the sites you already have confirmed dates with (unless one of them already made it clear that they were open to moving things around, magically).

One of the sites I am interviewing at wants to have my DCT email the site's TD to confirm. When I discussed this with my DCT, she noted that on the Time2Track portion of the AAPI, there was a section that said something in the realm of "dissertation proposal" and then an option to select "required by program for internship"Question: if a site (that offered you an interview) wants a proposal defended by ranking deadline, how do you let them know you proposed? Do you just inform them of the date during the interview? Or is it a more formal process?
For my program we had to do dissertation proposal before we could even apply, since that was a requirement for most sites anyways. And there was a question about it on the appi so they could all see when my proposal date was. If for some reason you didn’t answer that on your appi I think the best approach is to just reach out to them and ask how they usually verify proposal dates other than the appi.Question: if a site (that offered you an interview) wants a proposal defended by ranking deadline, how do you let them know you proposed?

Okay thanks! I checked my inbox, junk, and trash and I don’t think I got one so I’ll reach out to confirmyes, I received an email confirmation earlier in the week.
So I had a similar issue, what I kept in mind was the words of my supervisors: if you confirmed somewhere else...keep your word. It is exceedingly difficult for them to change your date after your confirmation. It will impact their view of you in ranking as well. My advice: if the other site isn't being flexible, that may be a red flag.How have people been handling scheduling conflicts?

You should already prepare the necessary proof right away. I’m not applying to BOP sites, but I have done external practica at federal sites & also take medications that would show up on a test. It’s absolutely in your best interest to have the paperwork done and on you before it’s requested and/or you fail a test.Question for people interviewing or have interviewed at any of the FBOP sites (or know someone who has) - I’m aware that a drug test is involved in the application process at some point (also for many other sites but my question is specifically about the FBOP since those are in person interviews). Do we know when if these screenings are the same day as the in person interview with the CVA? I ask because I’m prescribed a controlled medication that will definitely show up on the test and will require me to submit verification that I have rx for it. Do I need to get In touch with my PCP to get her to prepare some verification paperwork or is the drug test later on? (And it’s not marijuana I am aware sites don’t care if you have a prescription or not)
I did my prac at a BOP and had to get medication proof, but am wondering the same for the CVA process or if it’ll be later. It isn’t as easy to access PCPs with my state shut down.You should already prepare the necessary proof right away.

Not me....Has anyone scheduled their CVA for the BOPs? I have been waiting for a reply and followed up but have not heard anything....
I have not either...Not me....
Same.I have not either...
Would you have to be seen for an appointment, or would it be possible for them to write you a letter without being seen? I was able to do this as my PCP was teleworking and could access my records online. I hope you’re able to be in touch soon! There will certainly be ripple effects for quite some time re: PCPs.I did my prac at a BOP and had to get medication proof, but am wondering the same for the CVA process or if it’ll be later.

Have you heard anything? I think I will email later today probably...I know people got invited to interview at Salt Lake City VA (congrats it looks AMAZING!), but has anyon gotten a rejection?

Still nothing. I was trying to decide how long to wait today before sending an email. I might reach out closer to the end of the workday.Have you heard anything? I think I will email later today probably...
Same here (plus a rejection from the Brooklyn VA). Will spend the rest of the morning moping and turn my frown upside down by decorating cookies.It finally arrived. Rejection from Charles George (Asheville) VA. Now I've heard from every site! Phew, glad that's over with.
Same here, they are my last site to hear from. I am hoping we might still have a chance to get an invite since the notification was via phone for the other poster. But yeah, I'm also thinking about reaching out to inquire.Still nothing. I was trying to decide how long to wait today before sending an email. I might reach out closer to the end of the workday.
