I had the same thing happen with a prison emailing my personal gmail - for me, I think it was because that's what I signed up with through the AAPI. Congratulations on your interview and nice work on the jog! 🙂

So demoralized by this rejection. I have been obsessed with this site for YEARS and genuinely thought I had a shot.

I feel you, this one hurt a lot. This site takes so few interviews that I was bracing myself for it. It's so frustrating to be rejected from a site that feels like a great fit and that you've been looking forward to 🙁 I have had a few of those so far too. Trying to remember we only go to one place in the end, anyway. Sending good vibes to you!

Any word of Comprehensive Track invites going out for this site? Looks like most of the other tracks have been posted about. Keeping my fingers crossed a little longer.

I submitted the night they were due-- maybe 2-3 hours before the deadline on 11/1?

I submitted on the 7th because they posted on their website that they extended their deadline till the 7th. Do you think they’re doing rolling interviews? This was a top site for me 🙁

Has anyone heard from the Durham VA?

Curious about this too. Another poster pointed out a discrepancy between their APPIC posted notification date (11/23) and the date in their brochure (11/27 for interviews, 12/2 for rejections I believe).

Odd yes, but still a possibility because VAs are open that day even if some staff take off. Besides, hopefully less people are traveling due to the pandemic! Although even if we have to wait until Monday, it’ll come before we know it 🙂

Aw, I'm sorry to hear that! I know some of my cohort haven't heard back yet and they counted it as a rejection, did you get an email? If not, it's possible there is still hope because some sites do send out their invites in waves. Regardless, things will definitely work out. We still have a big chunk of sites that we will hear from in December! *sending virtual hugs*

Thank you! Hugs so appreciated. I haven't gotten an email yet--there are a number of sites that I've seen people post here or people in my cohort have gotten interviews with and I haven't heard anything. Just two rejections and radio silence.

Ugh, well that can certainly be disheartening. That happened for me with another site, and I know many of my friends are still waiting to hear back and only have a handful of rejections so far. Plus, I think with the impact of COVID pushing everything back, I bet the majority of us will be getting more responses in the first few weeks of December.
 
Don't feel dejected just yet, everyone! My training director was telling us how sites are more delayed this year. And you never know how things work out. I got rejected from a site that was at the very bottom of my list early last week and felt super depressed for a few days before getting the interview offer from UPenn, which was a reach school for me. It's still early and anything can happen!
