Rejection from McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School at 3:38 PM EST today. Rejection from the University of Illinois at Chicago at 3:07 PM EST today. I have 3 interviews so far and have gotten rejections from all of my other sites except for two, which haven't announced anything either way. If those are also rejections, are the odds of me matching in round 1 still okay? I'm stressed.

This has been spoken about before, but I know someone who matched in a Phase I and only had 3 interviews. Others have mentioned knowing those who have matched with only 1 interview.
 
For folks asking about likelihood of matching based on a given number of interviews, I have referred back to this article a few times and figured others might also find it helpful!

I have a question...! One of the site I got invited to told me that they have “written” interview component.....!!!! What should I expect?? It is a forensic site. I have to write it and send it back within like 6 hours I believe...

If you know anything about this and/or know someone who had to do similarly, please give me some input as to what to expect!!!

Thank you so much 🙂

I had to do this for a forensic site, it was a vignette and asked me diagnostic impressions, how I'd build rapport, and treatment recommendations. We only had 45 minutes though, not sure if a 6 hour timeframe would mean you have to provide more info. Hopefully that helps!

Thank you so much! Yes this is very helpful.
And wow! Only 45min?? That’s intense!
I’ll brainstorm possible situations that they might ask in the vignette....haha.. LOL so anxious

It was intense haha I was so anxious! I tried to tell myself that they are just trying to get a read on our clinical instincts and see if our approaches are a good fit for the site. I reviewed the handbook closely beforehand to try and keep in mind the types of approaches they emphasize. Good luck, I hope it goes well for you!!
 
BOP folx - anyone hear from Springfield with the OF-5 yet? I’ve heard from my other BOP sites but not Springfield.

Seconding this! I had a written component at a child-focused forensic site. Also just asked about presenting problem, potential dx/what info I'd need to make a dx, treatment planning, how I would handle a dilemma within the vignette, ethical considerations, and cultural considerations, I think. I think I was also given about 30 minutes.

So, my interview is at the end of this week and I have only received the times and names of people I am interviewing with. No other details, which makes me a bit nervous haha

Someone else replied to my question and said that they told her they would send supplementary info this week. Maybe email them since your interview is soon? Hopefully it goes well. Good luck to you!

That could be what he meant! It just might be a brief breakdown of the interview day. I haven’t gotten anything else yet on it.

I got an invitation too!! Have they given you a date yet? I’m waiting on the second email.
 
Your Aunt Sue, here again. I gather it’s Been A Day for everyone. They say there’s no business like show business! Roll call: Hmm🤔 if your day was worse than even you thought it would be, Love 😍if your invites are going to your head, and Care 🤗if you just want to join me in a big old group hug.

As always, thinking about every one of you and I’m so excited for you.

I was surprised as well. Just goes to show that it's not over until it's over. This one is going to take three separate partial-days from me, but it currently seems possible.

Is anyone else waiting for Jackson Health Systems or Northwell? Assuming these will be rejections since they sent out mass email invites 🙁

Yes, and as someone else said on here it's not over till it's over. There's been a couple of people already that I know (including myself) that have received interviews after seeing it posted on here. They appear to be coming in waves.
 
Has anyone heard from Franciscan Children’s yet? The APPIC website said notifications on 12/10 but just wondering and getting anxious!
