I asked about Neuro but I sounded like they had filled all positions, but I don’t know for sure.
Was this a follow up to your application or did you interview?
ETA: Was this all positions at both UM and the VA? Or did you only contact one site? ((I need all the details, pretty please. 🤣))

It was a follow up to my application, I did not receive an interview. I only ask about pediatric neuropsychology but, in the email, she said that they had filled their positions for 2022 so I'm not sure if she meant all of the positions or if it was just pediatric neuro.

Thanks, that’s helpful!

Not necessarily! A lot of sites have been busy with internship interviews and then a lot of people were out for the holidays. I wouldn’t take that as a bad sign yet!

Thank you! I have been a little anxious about not hearing back from most of the sites I applied to!

Throughout this process I've been trying to keep in mind that it's not over til it's over haha. Hang in there!
Thanks! But after going through internship apps, too long to get a response after people have already been invited usually means it’s over. I just wish they would send rejections and end the anxiety already!

Out of curiosity, I was also offered an interview on a different interview date for the same track. I wanted to ask if they had told you your interview would be approx. 1 hour long or longer potentially?
