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.

I have heard that this does not increase your chances of being matched. Plus imagine how many emails these people are getting.

No, I don't think it increases your chances, but it's a nice thing to do after all of the time they put into reviewing your app and interviewing you. and if they're getting too many email thank yous they have no obligation to respond. I have had 2 people respond and 2 people ignore me lol

Did you apply to NDOC's other sites?

do you mean the other specific site options within the NCDCRC? I did not specify interest in any of the specific options (e.g., Cali state prison, valley state prison, cali men's colony), I just said I was interested in all of them on the AAPI and then did a general cover letter to NCDCRC. I'm not sure why it was valley state prison that contacted me, as i didnt specify i was interested in them specifically over the other two. did that answer your question or did you mean something else?

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!]

Finish two drinks if they say they're looking forward to meeting you and attach a rejection letter (per someone's post yesterday😳).
 
Just to jump in for a quick moment regarding thank you letters: my advice is to feel no obligation or pressure to write them, and if you do, to not worry if you don't receive any reply. The letters won't affect your chances with the site, and interviewers/faculty may elect not to respond for a variety of reasons, including not wanting to imply any type of favoritism, being very busy, or due to site policy.

The earlier KKI posts seem to be related to the Behavioral Psychology/ Neuropsychology Program and not the newer, PMHP/Family Traumatic Stress Program. These are separate programs, not tracks.

Edit: PMHP is one of the two tracks within the latter program.

I’m waiting on this one too!! I don’t remember seeing an update, but within AAPI I noticed that they extended the deadline to 11/16. So maybe that’s related? I think 12/15 is the posted notification date.

Has any one heard from the KKI PMHP/Family Traumatic Stress Program yet? Still waiting on this one! 🙂
 
I know it hasn't been posted here but does anyone know (heard from other applicants) whether Charleston Consortium has sent out any invites for the Neuropsych track? I know other tracks have been posted here and their interview days go until the end of January.

I applied for neuropsych and have yet to hear back either way. I know they do a rolling process but I'm getting anxious about this one!

I applied to multiple tracks (not neuro) and have not heard back. I contacted them yesterday with an admin-related issue and they promptly responded, but gave no indication of anything regarding application status.
 
Seeing a lot of anxiety on the end of not hearing from sites yet, on the side of hearing from most of my 15 sites orrrrr seeing that they already sent out mass invites when I haven't received anything, I have 1 maybe 2 sites in question, and 3 interviews. Freaking out a bit over here. It seems no matter how this process is going the anxiety can just attack from all sides!

Ugh I feel you, that last option is really killing me in particular and I feel like I’m actually starting to go crazy
