I'm sorry to hear that 🙁 I think the rejections are hitting everyone hard. Can I ask which UPenn track you applied to?

Thanks! I think it is the back to back ones that start to get to you. But glad for the support from this group! I applied to the General Adult Track. Good luck!!

Has anyone heard from the Samaritan Health Neuropsych Track? I saw a post about the health track.

Rejected from University of Colorado and University of Pennsylvania. Not a great start to the week...

Good luck to those who got interview offers!

I’m sorry to hear that! I’m in the same boat, with two confirmed rejections today, including the Adult Track at UPenn. The email said that they received upwards of 260 applications for 30 internship slots, so a lot of great applicants likely didn’t make the cut. My fingers are crossed for better news tomorrow and in the coming days this week for you!

Hi! I was in your shoes last year... I see folks talking about rejection after rejection and how hard it is hitting. I just wanted to let y'all know that I felt like that too and it was so demoralizing. I think I had like six rejections and one interview by the second week of December and I was panicking. Then all of a sudden invites started to roll in, and by December 28th I remember I had 7 interviews and maybe 8 rejections. They will come!


And if they don't, all it takes is one site. And, that site doesn't even have to be in Phase I. There were a number of sites that were very prestigious with quality training in round 2 last year, as well as a number of applicants with quality training that just didn't find the right match. It will work out.

 

[clinicaldoc2020]

Got an email from medical college of Wisconsin that said they were not able to offer me an interview but should an interview spot open up, they would still consider offering me an interview. Has anyone else gotten an email like this or heard of this before?

Yes I received the same email too.

Yes I applied to both neuropsych tracks and no it was a very general mass email that just said "neuropsychology track"

 

[ClinPsychPhD_Applicant]

I am wondering the same thing - it seems only Forensic Track has heard.

I reached out by email today and received a rejection (from the counseling center).

Oh, sorry to hear that! I was talking about the other UNC site (not the counselling center).

 

[student9295]

Who else has been refreshing their emails non-stop today?

 

[beardedshrink]

I reached out by email today and received a rejection (from the counseling center).

Sorry to hear that, I feel I am probably in the same boat as I have not heard back either. Was it a personal email in response to yours or was it a mass email rejection?
