[SarahpeuticAlliance]

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

Right, I forgot about that! Thank you 🙂

 

[inpursuitphdpsych]

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.

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 🤷🏻‍♀️

Has anyone received a rejection from Baylor College of Medicine-Menninger or MEDVAMC?

My program requires an APA accredited internship, so I actually didn’t apply because if they lose accreditation, then I wouldn’t be able to graduate. I agree that it seems unlikely though. It feels like a similar situation to what UAB was in a year or two ago.

I did my undergrad in Denton (where TWU is located). Happy to answer any questions about the area!

I'm sorry to hear that! I'm waiting on this one...was it a mass email?

It was personal I think!

I've seen CBT, Integrated and Forensic but I didn't see anyone post about the child track. Wondering if anyone knows if that email went out too?

What track did you apply to? Was the email specific?

 

[psyd_lady]

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?

I would wait! The same thing happened to me and then I ended up getting an interview a few days later

 

[readyforfebruary19]

I haven't heard from many sites yet but I've received two invitations, Boston and NYC and I live in the Midwest. Interesting question but all of my sites are far away from me so I hope it doesn't matter!

I'm in TX and have received invites from New England, the Midwest, the West Coast, the Atlantic Coast, and the PNW - just for reference! I don't imagine it actually matters much

 

[nicolascagephd]

I received a mass rejection email from them on 11/30.

I am wondering about this site too!!

[discolemonade]

They don’t have tracks, just one general internship program. Maybe you’re thinking of a different Mount Sinai program?

 

[Morningview]

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

How long ago did you hear?
