APPIC Interview Invitation Thread (2021)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Rejection from Northwestern Feinberg. :/

Personalized email with very kind personalized letter! I appreciate that effort.
I am expecting this but haven't received it yet. I am fascinated by the idea of a personalized rejection letter (assuming you mean more than your name was inserted) so my curiosity is piqued!

@Action_Potential this is helpful and gives me some confidence to reach out to a couple of programs I really care about and would be interested in post-docing (sp?) at. Appreciate you taking the time to share!

I was also rejected from this site and I wouldn’t say it was super personalized. I think it may have been an insert the name into the mass letter type thing. Mine basically said “we received a large number of applications for a small number of positions, so unfortunately we cannot interview many applicants who, Like you, have received good training and who would have done quite well here”
 
Me looking at my dwindling list of possible neuropsych program interviews:

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’m on the same boat, but mine is on Tuesday. I will recommend emailing by tomorrow to double-check. I’ll do this on Monday, if I don’t hear back.

Yeah it was just personalized in that they listed my name and address in the letter and didn’t send in a mass email. But I still appreciate the time that takes, as none of my other rejections have done that.

Does anyone know what page of this thread that document of example interview questions is on?
 
Received official rejection from Baylor College of Medicine, Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences.
 
Just heard from Cleveland State University's Counseling Center that they will be withdrawing from the match and will not be taking any interns for this next year. Has anyone else run into this with a site, and if so, have you asked if it's possible to get our application fee back? (It might be petty, but also, grad student budget so I want money back 😕)

This is kind of tentative because it was quite the rollercoaster of e-mails...INTERVIEW OFFER, just kidding we're recalling that e-mail, ANOTHER INTERVIEW OFFER!

I think it may be possible! I had applied to a track at a site that wound up being eliminated for 2021, and APPIC refunded applicants who applied to that track.
