Question 9. How do I rank a site that has several different
programs, and thus uses several code numbers?
You may rank any or all of a site's programs simply by including
the proper code number for the program(s) on your Rank Order List.
If you applied to ten sites, each with five separate programs,
your Rank Order List could contain as many as 50 (10 x 5) different
code numbers. Of course, your list would be shorter if you decided
not to rank every single program at all ten sites.
For example, let's say you apply to three sites, some with two
programs (sample code numbers are listed in parentheses):
- Site A has two programs:
- Gerontology (9991)
- Neuropsychology (9992)
- Site B has two programs:
- Paid (9981)
- Unpaid (9982)
- Site C has only a single program:
- Psychology Internship (9971)
If you are interested in all five of these programs, then you
would rank all five code numbers, for example:
- 9981 Site B - Paid
- 9991 Site A - Gerontology
- 9971 Site C
- 9992 Site A - Neuropsychology
- 9982 Site B - Unpaid
Of course, you could list these programs in any order you wish.
The Matching Program attempts to match you to the programs in
the order that you specified. In this example, the paid position
at Site B is your most-preferred choice, while an unpaid position
at the same site is your least-preferred choice.
If you did not wish to match to the unpaid position at Site B
under any circumstances, then you would simply omit code 9982
from your Rank Order List. If you did not want to match to the
neuropsychology program at Site A, you would omit code 9992 from
your List.
