Kudos to you for managing this process with a newborn ❤️

Me too. Very grateful to have the interviews and not have to travel, but this seems exhausting! My current plans for managing are: cancel everything I need to cancel in advance of that week, have meals prepped/assigned to partner, make no plans for the weekends on both ends, plan outfits in advance as if I am traveling and would be forced to, and plan to prep for each specific interview (e.g. re-read cover letters and brochure) the morning of so I don't get them too scrambled. It would be great to hear others' tips for making back-to-back interviews as successful as possible!

I second all of this. Even though I had a week full of interviews this past week and did...none of these things 😉 I actually prepared quite a bit for my very first interview and none for the rest, even though my top choices came later in the week. Overall interviews have felt more conversational and to a large extent repetitive. My candid answers have been much better than rehearsed, scripted answers.

Way to go mama! From another mama who had kids in grad school, I know how much of an adjustment those first few weeks are. Praying that you get good news soon! I also had a bunch of rejections before my first interview offer. It's not too late by any means.

Happy interview season fam! Sending everyone positive energy.

Anyone hear from Friends Hospital in Philly? They have yesterday listed as their notification date but since they extended their deadline I assume they’ll take a bit longer. Wanted to see if anyone has info. Thanks in advance!

I didn’t hear from them either. I applied to child track. Not expecting a good response though. Instead of putting “i would like to be considered for the Child Track”, I wrote “I would like to be considered for the Behavioral Health Rotation”. 😖

Wow, being a parent of a newborn and still pushing through with applications is no joke! I admire your perseverance and I hope you get lots of invitations coming your way!

For those that have attended an optional virtual open house that doesn’t take place same day as interview, did you “go” in full interview attire?

Yes Montefiore had an open day before the interview invitations. I dressed a little more colorfully than I would have for interview but, I was dressed. Everyone else was in suit jackets too.

I’m waiting on Woodhull too. Not a word from them. I heard that they are typically a little disorganized but I think at this point I’m waiting for a rejection.

I wouldn't lose hope! I didn't apply there but I just know that in general the NYC sites tend to notify later so maybe they haven't told anyone anything yet!
 
Anyone hear from the Albert Einstein/Montefiore Combined Specialization? I've seen some for adult and some for child on here.

I bow down. I could not have done that. And sites should bow down too. I wish there was a way to communicate stuff like this to sites. Covid is tough, creating a human is harder.

Rejection 9:58 CST - UNC-SOM. Mass email, not track-specific. Knew this one was coming, just wasn't sure when! Not sweating it 🙂

Just got this too. This was one of my favorite sites but I have to say this may have been the least thoughtful rejection email I have received. (And I received plenty...😉) Ah well - takes the edge off a bit I guess.

So impersonal! And seems hastily written. I've been (SO) lucky that this is my only one up to this point (still waiting to hear from more sites)!

I was in the same situation last year and decided to hold off applying for a year. But honestly traveling right after birth for interviews was one of my main reasons for waiting. From a mama of 3 (1 of which arrived 3 months before starting grad school and 2 of which happened during grad school), great job! You have a lot to be proud of.
 
I know this has been said many times, but any invites to Kennedy Krieger child trauma track? Notification date was on Friday but I haven’t seen any invites on here or elsewhere 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wow. They didn’t give you much time to prepare for the interview
 
Happy new week everyone! Hoping for the last invites to roll out this week (or some closure).

Has anyone gotten a rejection from Youth Opportunity Center? I saw someone post an interview invite via mass email, but haven't seen any rejections. I haven't heard from them despite the notification date being Friday, but it seems like last year they sent rejections days after the deadline.

I know a couple of people have heard back from Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital the neuropsychology track, a while back. Has anyone heard from them recently?

Anyone heard from Bay Pines VA? Their date is 12/16 but in previous years they’ve notified earlier.

Also, any Charleston Consortium rejections?

Thank you for asking about Charleston! I was just about to ask if anyone else was still waiting. I'm expecting the rejection but still waiting (SO impatiently).

I edited my post to add in their notification date, which I just checked and it’s today! Hopefully we’ll hear something today. I wonder with their rolling notification if they decide to extend more interviews based on how the earlier interviews go. They’ve had 4 interview days including today.
