I just checked and can't believe it hasn't come yet.... Closure would be nice!
Ask them what they prefer.
I don't have great advice but my couple of thoughts: If you don't know how you would rank sites it may be preferable to not undermine your relationship with the sites you already have confirmed dates with (unless one of them already made it clear that they were open to moving things around, magically). If the sites's interviews are somewhat non-overlapping in time, you might suggest a hybrid to the "new" site and ask if you could piece together a couple of interviews over a couple of days (e.g. you could make afternoon times work with them if not mornings)? Not sure if TDs are open to that kind of thing. I would also reiterate my interest (and the availability you do have) and express your interest in interviewing with them should any possibilities open up. Good luck, that's a disappointing situation to be in!
yes, I received an email confirmation earlier in the week.
Thank you!!! Very helpful-definitely going to suggest the hybrid interviews 🙂
One of the sites I am interviewing at wants to have my DCT email the site's TD to confirm. When I discussed this with my DCT, she noted that on the Time2Track portion of the AAPI, there was a section that said something in the realm of "dissertation proposal" and then an option to select "required by program for internship"
For my program we had to do dissertation proposal before we could even apply, since that was a requirement for most sites anyways. And there was a question about it on the appi so they could all see when my proposal date was. If for some reason you didn’t answer that on your appi I think the best approach is to just reach out to them and ask how they usually verify proposal dates other than the appi.
Okay thanks! I checked my inbox, junk, and trash and I don’t think I got one so I’ll reach out to confirm
So I had a similar issue, what I kept in mind was the words of my supervisors: if you confirmed somewhere else...keep your word. It is exceedingly difficult for them to change your date after your confirmation. It will impact their view of you in ranking as well. My advice: if the other site isn't being flexible, that may be a red flag.
Thank you! I agree completely.
You should already prepare the necessary proof right away. I’m not applying to BOP sites, but I have done external practica at federal sites & also take medications that would show up on a test. It’s absolutely in your best interest to have the paperwork done and on you before it’s requested and/or you fail a test.
I did my prac at a BOP and had to get medication proof, but am wondering the same for the CVA process or if it’ll be later. It isn’t as easy to access PCPs with my state shut down.
Not me....
I have not either...
Same.
Would you have to be seen for an appointment, or would it be possible for them to write you a letter without being seen? I was able to do this as my PCP was teleworking and could access my records online. I hope you’re able to be in touch soon! There will certainly be ripple effects for quite some time re: PCPs.
Have you heard anything? I think I will email later today probably...
Still nothing. I was trying to decide how long to wait today before sending an email. I might reach out closer to the end of the workday.
Same here (plus a rejection from the Brooklyn VA). Will spend the rest of the morning moping and turn my frown upside down by decorating cookies.
Same here, they are my last site to hear from. I am hoping we might still have a chance to get an invite since the notification was via phone for the other poster. But yeah, I'm also thinking about reaching out to inquire.
Still waiting!
Same. I’m expecting I’ll be asleep as I’m on the east coast.
I don't have anything in my email (or junk) from them, so idk what that means. I have had some emails from VAs never get delivered. I guess I'll just wait until the end of the business day to inquire.
Not yet. Been waiting on this last one for what feels like foreverrrr
I got it around 2pm EST in my junk!
Hopefully we hear something early this week before the holidays to schedule the CVA...
Especially since they need completed prior to virtual interviews. Luckily I’ve scheduled all mine for the end of January.
Same! I have one scheduled for the end of January. I am still waiting to schedule my other two but I want them all scheduled so I just know when everything is haha this makes me super anxious not hearing back...
Did you end up contacting them?
