Visits to Campus

If an applicant wishes to visit the TWU Counseling Center prior to the application deadline, such a visit can be arranged by calling the Director of Training. These visits are offered to help applicants or potential applicants learn more about the site; they are not conducted as formal selection interviews.

Selection Procedure

After reviewing all completed applications, the Selection Committee will determine semi-finalists by December 11, 2009. Applicants not selected as semi-finalists for a possible internship offer will be notified via email after such a determination is made.

The Selection Committee will interview all semi-finalists either by telephone or through a personal interview in cases where this has been requested by the applicant. (Personal interviews are not required and are not necessary in order to receive favorable review by the Selection Committee.) Each semi-finalist will be paired with a current intern who is available to answer questions and provide assistance to the applicant throughout the entire selection process.

Interviews will be conducted December 17 & 18, 2009 and January 5-14, 2010. On January 15, 2010, the final rankings of interviewees will be confirmed. Interviewees will be informed shortly thereafter informing applicants as to whether they are still being considered for a possible internship offer.

THIS INTERNSHIP SITE AGREES TO ABIDE BY THE APPIC POLICY THAT NO PERSON AT THIS TRAINING FACILITY WILL SOLICIT, ACCEPT OR USE ANY RANKING-RELATED INFORMATION FROM ANY INTERN APPLICANT.
