: Hiking. Fall colors...
 
If you don't mind me asking... who told you to put 30 days? (I am super paranoid in addition neurotic and sassy 🤣 - peep my user name hahaha)
To piggyback off of this, I asked the TD at FCI/FDC Tallahassee and they said to contact the HR rep specified on the form because they aren't supposed to advise on the HR part of the interview process 🤷‍♀️ So I planned to call once receiving the OF-5 form to clarify with HR directly.

Can you update us tomorrow after you call? I have multiple BOP sites and don’t want to call them all.

So i know where to find the statistics for how many people match vs not match per school per the entire system... is there any statistics about the percentage of people getting their top 3 vs percentage of people getting top 5 etc.? or the average number of placements people rank? I am unable to find this info!

Did invites go out for all of the Jackson and UT San Antonio tracks today? Or just some?
Regarding UT San Antonio, I'm not super sure but my invite seemed to be more connected to the CBT track. They have open houses for each track it seems, so I wouldn't be surprised if the child/adolescent or primary care tracks come later. The email has the link for a program overview video and zoom links for the CBT track open houses, so I wouldn't be surprised if the other tracks are getting the logistics of their links together.

Primary care were sent today. I imagine child might’ve gone out too, but that’s the only one that hasn’t been posted yet.
 
Pace University's UCC interview notification was today - I've seen one person from earlier in the thread get an invitation. Anyone else still waiting?
Me! I saw that too...IDK if they're running behind because of COVID and the end-of-semester rush. I was thinking of emailing them later this week (or maybe next week) if I still don't hear back.

I previously saw some postings for several tracks at The Mass General/Harvard Medical School, but haven't seen the BMED track posted yet. Has anyone received an invite for this track or know about others who have been notified?
 
I know one person said they had heard from UNC SOM with an assigned interview date. Has anyone else heard?
I also heard back this afternoon -- as a heads up, they did not assign dates based on interview preferences stated in cover letter, which threw me a bit! I'll keep fingers crossed for you! 🙂
 
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 🤷🏻‍♀️

You will want to carefully consider the potential implications of completing an unaccredited internship (that’s the worst case scenario), and decide if you can live with that prior to ranking such a site. There is no harm in interviewing to see what the site has to offer and hear what they have to say about their plan moving forward.

Email from Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo stating they moved their interview notification date from 12/10 to 12/16. Just a heads up since it went to my junk mail!

This should be available on the APPIC website. These data are collected each year.

I'm waiting to hear from MGH BMED also.
