Rejections from Pacific Psychology and Comprehensive Health Clinic (youth and family track) AND The Guidance Center in Long Beach, CA

 

[aahmed05]

Anyone hear from Yale's Autism Track at the Child Study Center?

 

[neuropsycho12]

I'm writing this in here in case any future student looks over this thread:

Did any of you feel really hopeless a few weeks ago, and ended up doing pretty well in terms of getting interviews at sites that you were excited about?

Yes! I got 8 straight rejections before my first offer and ended up getting interviews at all of my top 3 sites. 5 interviews total (still waiting on one more notification). I thought for sure I wouldn't get any interviews and would have to do phase II or apply next cycle. I was in a really bad place emotionally for a while, but now so excited about what's to come.

 

[John Dory]

They were supposed to send out both rejections and invites by 4:59 p.m. ET today (according to their website). So I assume they're running behind.

It's a little funny to be so specific about the time and then... nothing... Anticlimactic end to a day of compulsive email checking. Did anyone get rejections from the adult track? Wondering if they just forgot to send the rejections but sent all invitations (that's what I'm thinking) or if they missed sending for the other tracks (what I'm hoping).

 

[inpursuitphdpsych]

Has anyone heard either way from Jefferson County Internship Consortium (JCIC) / department of seven counties services in KY? Pretty sure today is the deadline for notifying applicants of interview offer/rejection

 

[PricelessCare]

Rejection Received 12/11 - U of Oregon UCS.

 

[brainsn’stuff]

Invite for Jesse Brown crisis intervention track

 

[PricelessCare]

I haven’t received anything either way yet but I’m assuming they just send out their rejections on a different day

Ditto!

I totally felt the same! The specificity of notifying all applicants was so interesting to not send anything in the end related to rejections.

[PsyD-2022]

Has anyone heard from Sacramento VA, Southern Nevada VA, or Napa state?

I’m waiting on Southern Nevada VA as well. They have their deadline next Friday so still some time!

 

[lakenote]

Has anyone heard from Sacramento VA, Southern Nevada VA, or Napa state?

Sacramento extended their application deadline to yesterday so probably won’t be for a bit. Notification deadline is still 12/15.

Historically, the different tracks have notified on different days/times, so it could go either way. I'm bummed to have to wait through another weekend, but I'm going to do my best to not worry about it too much. I've already had too many sleepless nights lol

 

[krca221]

Are there any other people who haven't heard, offer or rejection, from the DC VA yet? I've seen interviews offered and rejections sent as well but I haven't heard either way. I checked their brochure and their notification date is listed as 12/15 (though AAPIC page says 12/4) so I plan on just riding this out until then, but wanted to see if others are in the same boat.

[readyforfebruary19]

Starting to think this one might not be happening today after all...

Makes me feel some type of way about the site. Especially after getting a different offer today and corresponding with that TD three times while getting radio silence from a site with TODAY as a notification deadline...💩

 

[HelpBetter]

Congrats!!! I'm still waiting to hear from them regarding another track (General). Anybody out there get invites for the General Track yet?

Got an invitation to Jesse Brown General Track at 7:15pm CST. Mass email it would appear, with a note about track invites coming at different times.

[psychamb]

Has anyone heard from Sacramento VA, Southern Nevada VA, or Napa state?

Lol do we have the same site list? Just got an offer from Southern Nevada VA. No word from Sac VA. I also got a letter in the mail from Napa State today asking for my SSN (but stating it was optional for identification)--but no offer or anything from them.

I received an interview invite from Sac VA on 12/3 (which went to junk... oops) and another one on 12/7. Very strange that they're sending out invites before their app deadline. It's probably on a rolling basis so I wouldn't worry yet!

Rejection 12/11: VA Pacific Islands Health Care System

I really liked that site but there was no way we could have financially made that jump, especially with how expensive housing and childcare is. I was sad when I crossed it off my initial list of sites I’d like to apply to.

Rejection from Harvard neuropsych..... why did I even bother applying there?🤣🤣👽

lolllll

 

[Doctor Koala]

4 rejections in one day 🙃. This is such a fun process. It’s like the Six Flags of application processes. Don’t you all agree? 🤗

Yes

 

[2ndMrshmllw]

Anybody still waiting to hear back from Westchester Jewish Community Services? Others in my program have gotten an interview over phone, or rejection over email, but I haven’t heard back.

 

[thetiredgradstudent]

Anyone received a rejection from UNC-SOM forensic track? I know the offers went out forever ago but I haven't gotten a rejection.

I also applied and haven't received a rejection notice.

 

[psyd_lady]

I haven't heard back from Jesse Brown and I see others already have. Should I assume it's a rejection?

 

[psych4lyfe0929]

Did you get a date from them? I got invitation without a date but asked to RSVP 🙄

Yes!! lol

 

[DietCokeSoda]

I didn’t think it was possible, but I know some sites have extended their notification deadlines past the APPIC 12/15 date. One of mine extended their notification date to 12/30/2020, so yours might be accurate

 

[psyd_lady]

There is a site that changed their notification deadline to 1/11/2021...should I assume this is a typo?
If this is accurate, I'm EXCITED that I haven't been rejected but a bit nervous of the late interview!

If that's accurate and not a typo that's a RIDICULOUSLY late notification deadline.... 😬
Hoping you get an interview!!
