Congrats! Have you scheduled the Core Values Assessment and all yet? I just received an email about that part but haven't heard about the interview dates for my actual sites yet...

Congrats to you too! They said the CVA scheduling comes in a separate email so I am sure your offer is coming. What sites did you apply to? I applied to several also but only heard from this one so far. It seems though that if you get one you get them all as the offer stated "I am pleased to inform you that in addition to satisfying the APPI internship requirements you have also been identified as a Best Qualified applicant for temporary federal employment" which I take as meaning generally, not just for this one site...?

Has anyone heard back from Mt. Sinai Beth Israel in New York?

Nope haven't heard-and pretty sure from knowing people who applied in past years that they send out interviews and rejections around the same time so I don't think they have sent anything yet! hope we both hear good things soon 🙂

FCC Allenwood and Terre Haute; the email about the CVA came from Allenwood. Yeah I would think the best qualified applies to all sites (fingers crossed anyway) so hopefully we'll hear from the others soon!!

I wouldn't worry yet. I applied to five and have only received one so far. Also, mine still says received too so I would not base it off that!

At my PsyD program, all students are paid for all practica. About $5,500 per practicum (16-20 hrs/week) is normal. $1,500 is the smallest amount we can get (usually unfunded externships), and some sites pay as high as $9,000 for the year (usually forensic sites). I thought all doctoral psych students were paid for practicums!

Where is this program?!

Schedule whatever works with your schedule. Doesn't really matter when you are in those blocks. I can't ever remember order f interviews making a speck of difference in final rankings.

I was feeling pretty dejected after 7 rejections and 1 waitlist, so this feels huge!! Especially because geography-wise this was one of my top sites!

Anyone apply to Yale Child Study Center (YCSC) – Child & Trauma track and hear anything? I know YCSC has called with invites but only Early Childhood Track and Pediatric Track have been reported on this thread. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m waiting on a different track that has sent out both rejections and interviews? Really confused as it is likely my top site in terms of fit clinical and research domains. Hoping to hear soon but it’s getting late on the east coast.
 
Those who heard from the BOP’s, for the OF-5 form, how have y’all answered the “I can report for duty within (____) days after notification”?

I haven’t gotten the form yet. 🤷🏼‍♀️ But two emails saying I’ll be sent one.

When did you get that email? I got an email from the application rep.

About 20 minutes ago. It just says "You have been found qualified for this position and you have been referred to COESD for employment consideration" and isn't site specific. I don't know if that means I'm not best qualified or what. Is this what you mean by application rep?

I got the same email; it just said qualified not best qualified but since I already heard about scheduling the CVA, I guess that means we're good to go...

Yes I received this same email. I’ve heard from two out of six sites, so I think it means we’re moving forward.

Yes, I just got it!
*edit: it just says qualified like everyone else. The TD said best qualified in her email to me / mass email with my name
 
Anyone hear from Allina Health in Fridley, MN? They said today was their notification day but they weren’t clear as to if they would tell us if we got rejected or just ghost. Thanks in advance!

I had a long phone call with a friend who interned at the Sacramento VA and she had nothing but positive things to say about the site! Here are some bulletpoints:
  • They were accredited on their first try, which is apparently a big deal
  • Clinicians are younger at this site, but experts in the field
  • They really tailor the internship to what you want-- if you want certain cases or experiences, just speak out!
  • The PTSD team in particular is super strong and the clinicians there are the top experts in the field
  • There is the opportunity to partner with UC Davis psychiatry residents. I can't remember the specifics of this partnership, but she made it sound really cool
  • Apparently, the training director is also awesome and she liked the TD a lot
  • They're trying to get applicants with better experience in neuropsych for those who are interested in this rotation-- hence the neuropsych report requirement this year
Sorry if these are super generic notes. Over all, my friend had a great experience and recommended the site. I'm definitely applying as a result. Hope this helps a bit!
