Update about the Boise interview

I had the interview with the Boise site yesterday. I think it went pretty well, but it's always hard to say. I felt good about it after I left, but then spent the rest of the day worrying...I kept thinking of all the things I should have or could have said differently. I'm just hoping it went ok. I REALLY like the site! The people are great and the current interns are really happy there. I think I would really enjoy it there. I would be doing individual and group therapy with children, adolescents, and their families. I would also see some adults since sometimes the parents are seen for therapy if they need it. I would also do comprehensive assessments and go out to the schools for one afternoon a week to meet with kids for therapy. It sounds great!

This whole internship application process is very long.....once I have completed all my interviews (my last one is Jan 18th), I have to submit a rank order list of the sites where I interviewed. All the applicants have to submit their lists by Feb 6th. The sites have to rank all the people they interviewed and submit those too. Then a computer system figures out where everyone is placed based on the rankings submitted by applicants and the rankings submitted by the internship sites. We find out on Feb 22nd whether or not we matched. If we matched, then we find out on Feb 25th where we matched.

Anyway, I will keep everyone updated about my interviews. My next one is Jan 3rd. Wish me luck!
