Rejection- Western Youth Services in Laguna Hills, CA

 

[Psyducky]

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 am still waiting on that one too, best of luck to you!!!

 

[beardedshrink]

Hi! I was just wondering around what time you received the email?

It was around 5pm est. it was a personal email so there is likely still hope. Best of luck!

 

[Psych_6]

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

Phew, this is a relief. Hoping to hear from some soon!

Rejection from University of Washington med. Personal rejection letter, and they also stated they got a ton of applications. Congrats to those still in the running!

 

[arb5309]

Phew, this is a relief. Hoping to hear from some soon!

I think we will likely hear from the rest early next week. Based on the timing of the other emails, they’re probably off for the weekend at this point. But at least we’ve been given hope for the next hoop to jump through.

I've seen forensic and neuro for Central Regional but haven't seen any posts for the general adult track yet. Did anyone hear from them? This is a top choice for a friend and she is anxiously awaiting 😬 Or for people who applied to the other tracks, did it seem like the interview email wasn't track-specific?

 

[PricelessCare]

I'm glad to hear that! I hear you on the sting part too. :/ This is an unusual year and I think this is a helpful way to look at it, especially since we can't see the various working parts (and know there is a whole lot more in the mix) in these particularly unprecedented times.

Bittersweet soundtrack/song stuck in my head amidst this process: This Time Tomorrow by The Kinks...A warning though: its as catchy as the rest of The Kinks stuff!

The email referred specifically to the track. But the email was general enough that they may have only needed to change that information.

 

[Neurotic&Sassy]

Yes! I haven't filled it out yet, I have the same question as you about what to put for when I can "report for duty". Do any other FBOP folx know what to put??

I am in the same boat! I have no idea what to put for this. Since the email we received did not include this info, I was thinking of emailing them if no one knew what to put haha

yes to brattleboro, i think someone else in the thread too. seemed like mass email and came last week.

What UVA system/site do you mean?

 

[PricelessCare]

What UVA system/site do you mean?

Ahh, thank you. I mean the UVA Counseling Center.

 

[tottenhamamh23]

Ahh, thank you. I mean the UVA Counseling Center.

I know the notification was supposed to be today, either by phone call or email (from last year's cohorts) but have not heard anything.

 

[PricelessCare]

Ok, ditto on not hearing anything. Today, invite or not, is noted on the site as well. Thank you.

 

[missplum]

They tend to come later. It might assuage your anxiety to look at past years threads and see when they have historically sent out their invites or find this years notification date in their APPIC profile so you have an idea of when they may send out stuff. I know it sucks to wait (I can barely sleep lol!) But this part of the process should be over soon. APPIC's suggested notification deadline is on the 15th which is less than two weeks away.

 

[psyd_lady]

Also I have a site that people heard from yesterday and today :/ does this mean it’s probably going to be a rejection?

not necessarily! i got an invite to interview two days after others had received their invites

that's helpful advice, thank you!

Friends hospital moved their application deadline to 11/30 so I have a feeling we won’t be hearing from them until next week or the week after.
