Sorry to hear that 🙁 What time did you hear from them? Was it a mass email? I'm still waiting to hear back from them

Seemed like a mass email and I got it around 2:45 pm (eastern time)

Anyone hear anything from Advocate Illinois Masonic yet? I know today is their deadline. Wishing everyone a week full of lots of interview offers!

 

[InternHopeful-Neuro]

Is Jackson Health System moving slowly with emails or have more people received emails than have posted it? I was expecting more of a mass effect with this site, as they generally invite and reject on the same day each year. Not that this necessarily translates to the unusual 2020, but it is nonetheless a pattern.

 

[psyc2021]

Has anybody heard from Denver Health at all?

I haven't yet!

I think because they extended their deadline for application submission, it will take a bit more time to hear back about interviews or rejections.

I haven’t gotten anything but I assumed it meant rejection?

 

[psychmbr08]

Not sure what to do.
I saw people got both offers and rejections from Penn Med Hershey and I haven’t heard anything? Should I contact them?

In terms of communicating with sites, one should behave as if this thread does not exist. A site has every right to send notifications up to their posted deadline - inquiring prior to this date may negatively impact the chances of an invite. While hindsight may tell a different story in a couple weeks, we simply cannot know what we don't know.

 

[InternHopeful-Neuro]

I haven’t gotten anything but I assumed it meant rejection?

I would be more confident with that assumption if I saw more posts, simply because there are many competitive applicants on this thread receiving interviews from great sites. I could certainly be wrong - we will likely find out soon - but it just seems unusual. Either way, good luck to all of those who are waiting!

 

[SubCorNeuroGal]

For those of you who have posted about receiving an invite to the Illiana VA, have you heard back with what date you will be interviewing?

Haven't heard back yet!

[Psyducky]

Same! But no word. I figured they’d notify later than last year since they wound up pushing the application deadline back a week

Ah, good call! I forgot this was one that pushed things back. I just checked and the notification date is now 12/14. It's a bummer to have to wait a few extra days!

 

[mochi_mama09]

Rejections from Saint John's Saint John's Child & Family Development Center (12/7), Samaritan Health Services (12/2), Nebraska Internship Consortium-UNL and Creighton (12/1), Primary Children's Hospital (11/23), and OHSU (11/18). Quite demoralizing, but oh well...it is what it is.

EDIT: Thanks for the support, folks 🙂. Hang in there! Hope your interview process is going ok.

Yes, I did. I know they have rolling invitations though, so it may not be too late!

REJECTION ... So sad, I wanted this one. Most reach sites in California have rejected me (I am based in New York), does location makes a difference?

I feel the same way! Really wanted that one 🙁 but also feel like western/midwestern sites don't look favorably on NY programs

I wonder how much location plays into decisions. I attend a university in the midwest and all but one of my midwest internship sites I applied to were rejections. I've had more luck with my eastern sites.

 

[anxioustudent]

for us folks interviewing at Cleveland VA, what are thoughts on it being on probation?

I am not really taking that into consideration when ranking sites. I feel like they are a good program and that they have a plan to address it. I would be surprised if they don’t fully address everything and get off probation. I’m not sure if that’s naive of me to think though 🤷🏻‍♀️
