Mass email Rejections today from: Baylor Menninger Dept.- Neuropsych (@10:42am est) & West Palm Beach VAMC (@ 12:27pm est)🤷🏻‍♀️

Official Site Name: Memphis VAMC
Date Invitation Received: 12/11/2020
Method of Invitation: mass email
Specialty Track or Site: Clinical Health Psych
Interview Dates Offered: 1/8, 1/11, 1/22, & 1/25
(In honor of years past) If & How you're staying sane: I call my sisters, light any candle with a saint on it, & mute email chains like it’s my job.
 
I’ve seen rejections and interviews posted from these sites but I haven’t heard from any of them. I’ve been checking my inbox and spam nonstop!! Is anyone else awaiting an interview or rejection?

- Ohio Psychology Internship (Heartland Behavioral Health)
- Naussa University Medical Center
- Hutchings Psychiatric Center

Should I interpret these as rejections? Or is there a possibility I could get an interview? 😩 Be honestttt, I can handle it lol.
 
So, still waiting on 5 sites but I figure I should start preparing for the interviews I do have. Any tips? I'm a little overwhelmed with so, so many potential questions and I'm not sure if others have developed strategies for how to prep most efficiently. Most of my interviews are in the same 2-week span (I know, common) but that adds to the anxiety. Any tips are welcomed! Thanks in advance!

If it's past the notification day, I would just email and check in to make sure they didn't make a mistake. If it's not past the date, I would wait until then and take the lack of rejection as a positive sign.

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 😕)

Yes, but you need to call AAPIC directly or they’ll never refund it on their own.

I received a rejection from Hutchings this morning - went to my junk mail first tho.
I have received an offer for an interview with Ohio Psych Internship, but it's the for the forensic track, and I think you're referring to the inpatient track. I wouldn't immediately interpret as rejections! Fingers crossed for you!!

I'm also still waiting for Hutchings! Not sure if this means those who received invitations/rejections were from a different track (I applied to the 2 sex offender treatment tracks) or if maybe we are in a possible second round under consideration if some of the first rounders decide not to attend the interview? Since their deadline is next week, guess we'll have to wait a bit longer to find out 🤔

Has anyone from other tracks either way (invite or rejection) at Albert Einstein/Montefiore? A friend is hoping to hear from the comprehensive track.

I was hoping to hear from Child Track and have not heard anything either way! I also haven't seen posts about the Comprehensive Track, so I will keep my fingers crossed for your friend 🙂

I also applied to the General track and haven't heard anything. The Health email said they would be sending emails separately by track. Hopefully some good news is coming soon!
