That's reassuring that I'm not the only one! I was hoping that since it's the first interview date they may just be taking time to get everything finalized but also seeing folks on here who have had their emails sent to VA spam boxes had me nervous they didn't get my confirmation for the date 😳

Hey. Interviewed on site last year. PM me if you have any questions! Happy to answer them.
 
Someone asked about physicals for internship, separate from drug testing.

I had to get a physical for my VA internship. They basically want to make sure you have your vaccinations/are immune to certain things. Also, that you are “physically-able” for the job position. Which does not mean much at all for psychology.

Think of these things as a bureaucratic check box rather than something to be worried about. Barring military internships i imagine, I doubt anything physical is necessary for a psychology intern job description.

Not yet! I was told by Allenwood that someone would be contacting me to schedule the CVA but I haven't received a phone call yet.

I thought someone would contact me also but wasn’t sure because the OF form said we needed to contact them to schedule an interview by the specific date.

Congratulations!! Thanks for sharing. 🙂

If you're comfortable, would you mind sharing what time you received these emails? You can dm me if that'd be easier. Our university-provided email accounts had some technical troubles early this morning, and I'm trying to figure out whether it's worth reaching out just in case... Thanks! 🙂

When I called them about how many days, I also asked if we should schedule the CVA and she said they would call me to do that. For now, all she needed was the OF-5 form.
