I think I'm in the minority in that I've heard back one way or another from 9/10 sites at this point.
(Yes I realize 10 is crazy low for this year...Luckily I'm in an okay enough spot right now in terms of interviews...but was freaking out for a bit when it became clear that sites were getting more than typical number of applications and I applied to so few...)
I've seen postings for interviews for University of Massachusetts Medical School/Worcester Recovery Center and Hospital. Anyone get a rejection yet?

I definitely think it just depends on which sites and what type of sites you’ve applied to. I’ve heard from 12/16 sites.

I just got offered an interview for Neuropsych at University of Florida just this morning.....I saw that they sent out invites over 2 weeks ago and then rejections last night. Did this happen to anyone else? Does this mean I am "second tier" for them?

Maybe. Which they will realize is an error when you blow them away at your interview. Congrats!!

Duke SOM rejection for those waiting
It means that they are interested in having you as a member of their incoming intern class 🙂 It doesn't matter where we're "ranked", as long as we get to where we want to be (which is matched)!

I have seen some people post here that they received interview invitations from the Center of MulticulturalTraining in Psychology (CMTP) and the Worcester Recovery Center and Hospital (WRCH) - has anyone received rejections from either of these sites?

Also waiting! I heard they start sending out interviews closer to the deadline because they start getting inundated with post doc apps which are due on the same day as our notification date

Should I write a thank you email after my interview with a site? I interviewed with several people. Should I include all of them on the email?
It is kind, but not necessary, especially given the amount of emails sites are getting during internship and post doc season.

If you're going to send thank you emails, I would send them individually to each person you interviewed with and add something specific from your interview to personalize it.

I wrote separate emails for each person I interviewed with and tried to personalize the email. I would say definitely do that for sites you're going to rank high
OOop just got my rejection @Morningview
After one of my interviews the TD made a point to stress that that was not expected and they weren’t keeping tallies of that. It varies by site/individual of course, but I’d hope they’d all understand, especially given how overwhelmed they are with how many applicants they’re interviewing.

I would say, yes, definitely apply! Someone from my program re-applied to 3 sites that ended up in Phase II and ended up matching at the site that was his top choice in Phase I. I think that if we don't get an interview at this phase, it could be because we were #15 on their list and they invited 14 to interview (for him it was maybe #6 out of 5 interviewees I think?). When those 5 didn't blow the site away in interviews and/or weren't a great match, it ended up that it was meant to be for him.

If an applicant ranks a site, doesn't match, and then sees site with an unfilled spot in Phase 2... I'm pretty sure that means that the site didn't rank the applicant at all, which means that the site decided they would rather have no intern than take the applicant in question. Obviously this is a little different if it's a site that never interviewed the applicant in the first place.
So, I'm not sure what the best practice is in that situation -- Maybe reach out to the site to see if they can shed any light on what their concerns were and see if you can better address them the second time around?

Has anyone heard from Denver Health for the Adult Substance Use tracks (integrated or corrections)?

I know people who were rejected in phase 1 and matched to that site in phase 2! Definitely apply if you feel it is a good fit.
waiting too!
I have heard that this does not increase your chances of being matched. Plus imagine how many emails these people are getting.
Did you apply to NDOC's other sites?
No, I’m waiting for the integrated one. I saw they sent out a few mass emails for other tracks so... maybe they’ll send out these tracks soon?

The fact that I haven't heard back from 10 sites and we are getting so close to the final deadlines is so much more distressing and anxiety-provoking than I could have imagined. I am NOT staying sane right now.... are there others who are still in this boat?? Please tell me I am not out at sea alone.
To all feeling stressed and emotional (so...maybe everyone?):
My cohort has come up with a rejection letter drinking game. We haven't started yet but are taking suggestions for updates!
Take a drink if a site:
- wishes you well/the best/good luck with match
- says that other applicants were a better "fit"
- mentions the number of applicants
- says the applications were "competitive"
- refers to the number of applicants or the competitiveness of this cycle as "unprecedented"
Take a shot if a site:
- sends an email has a typo
- says they'll keep your application on file
- does not address the email at all (no Dear Applicant or Dear NAME)…just rejects you
- wasn't even in your top 50% of favorites but you still feel righteous anger at having been rejected
Finish your drink if:
- the rejection letter is three sentences or less
- it ended up in your spam folder (where it belongs)
[Disclaimer: this is all in good fun--just want to make the process feel less heavy and normalize that we are all going through it!]

This could just be me, but I like to personalize them, include specifics from our conversations, and definitely show my interest and excitement about their site if I truly think it is a good fit! If it's not a good fit, maybe keeping it more simple?

Yes!!! And they all have notification deadlines between now and Monday. I keep worrying if it means I am going to get 10 rejections in a day. Time to practice what I preach and use some skills I guess >.<
