Haven't heard from Superior Court of DC yet and it's driving me crazy!!! They switched their date to 12/14 but I'm hoping they get it done today
 
Rejection from Mount Sinai Dept. of Psychiatry (the Neuropsych-focused Mount Sinai site). Not only did this go to my clutter/junk mail folder, but it was sent like 5 times! I guess they really wanted to make sure I got the message lol
I got it multiple times too and they did not even bother to fill in my name lol.........*eye roll*

No word on Butner officially, but when a rep from the central office called me, I asked if I was still considered for Butner and they said yes! So if you were approved for your other BOP’s you may still be considered there too!

Also, they may be delayed bc of COVID impacting everywhere.

UC Davis - Heard from JJFP track.

Superior Court and Harris County haven’t sent anything out I think— and they typically send out late ~12/15 (listed 12/11)

I got this one, too, but for neuropsych. I literally cried. I started out with 8 rejections and 1 "we will still rank you but we're not interviewing you" and was feeling hopeless. Now I have 5 interviews including my top 3 sites. This has been such an emotional rollercoaster!

Waiting on the final 6 (I def see a huge time difference in notification from UCCs I applied to vs academic hospitals. Just now getting the UCCs in.)
 
Did Baylor/Texas Children's Hospital send out rejections yet? I know they did offers a while back and their APPIC notification deadline is 12/15, but I just wanted to get a feel for if they are sending rejections sooner or if I'll just have to wait for the confirmed rejection on 12/15. 🤔

I did my practicum at Patton State hospital last year and I grew up 10 minutes from there so I am very familiar with the surrounding cities. I’d be happy to answer any questions. Feel free to message me.
