This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Sorry to hear about your rejections. I hope you get good news soon!

If you don't mind me asking, with IU Ball Memorial, was that a mass rejection email? Thanks!
Oh yes! I’ve got 4 interviews thus far and still waiting on a few more sites. Just totally stung to have 3 rejections hanging out in my junk mail.

IU Ball Memorial was a mass rejection sent to me at 1:02pm EST.

Honestly, that's a good question. Now, I'm confused. I am waiting on the counseling center.
Haha- whoops, sorry for any confusion. Mine is not the counseling center. Mine has more of a Peds focus and is called the "USF Health Doctoral Internship." I'll edit my original post. Hope this feels better for you!!
 
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.
Although the invitation did not specify the track, I only applied to the neuropsych track and received an interview invite on 11/23

I think we may see an interesting Phase 2 this year. Since MANY students are applying to more than 20 sites (some to 40!!!), the top sites are being overwhelmed by a number of applications and qualified candidates. I bet that these same Tier 1 students will get a lot of interviews, but they will match to only 1 site, which means that possibly there will be plentiful positions unfilled. I predict that we will have many prestigious sities participating in Phase 2. Please refute my hypothesis.

That's highly probable.... Phase 2 will be a bit wild this year and post-vacancy match will probably be wild too!

i think you are right. 40 sites though 😳😵😳
 
Has anyone heard from Lenox Hill, Columbia NYP Irving Medical Center, Lincoln Hospital, or Rutgers Behavioral Health in Newark, or Mt. Sinai Elmhurst? I know someone on Monday said they got a phone call from Lincoln but I'm wondering if anyone has anything more recent than that. Thank you and good luck to all.
 
I have an interview scheduled for Monday but haven't received the schedule or zoom. My anxiety says I got missed but I logically realize it likely hasn't been sent out yet. Any recommendations on when to reach out?

I was given the schedule and zoom links for an interview the day before at noon, which had me anxious I had been missed as well! Especially if it's the site's first interview day, I would guess they're just running behind in finalizing the schedule and materials. I think it would be reasonable to reach out a full business day before. Good luck!

Thank you! That's helpful to know 🙂

After a couple of years ago, following a big jump in the number of internship slots, a lot of sites changed their interview and ranking procedures to avoid the Phase II scramble. I don't think we'll see that again anytime soon. There will be quality sites in Phase II, but nothing like a couple of years ago.

I received an interview invite for Rutgers Behavioral Health in Newark on 11/24. I applied to the adult corrections track, so I'm not sure if that matters, but the email didn't include the specific track and seemed to be a mass email despite being addressed to me. They only offered one interview date of 12/16 which is odd since their APPIC page says their notification date is 12/20... 🤷‍♀️

I'm sure 40 applications is an outlier, to me, it is unlikely that one is a great fit for 40 sites. The link indicates the range of applications from phase I of last year. You will see the range is 1 to 68 for number of applications, yes 68! There are outliers every year.

I think this sums up what at least some of us are feeling

I'm waiting on Lenox Hill, Columbia, and Elmhurst. I know people who have heard from/already interviewed at Columbia but do not know anyone who has heard from the other two.

Have you heard about people for the Columbia Child Track and Adult Track? I only saw Adult Track, but have not heard anything about Child...thanks for any insight you may have!
