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.
 
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 🤷🏻‍♀️

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 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
