on my interview travel expenses?
- How do I make out my Rank Order List?
- What considerations are important
in developing my Rank Order List?
- What if I decide that I'm no longer
interested in being matched to a particular internship program?
- Why is it that some internship sites
offer more than one "program" in the Match (and thus use more
than one Program Code Number)?
- How do I rank a site that has several
different programs, and thus uses several code numbers?
- How confidential is my Rank Order
List?
- What should I do if an internship
site pressures me to reveal my rankings?
- Under the Matching Program, can't
people still make "under the table" deals? What should I do
if an internship site wants to negotiate such a deal?
- I understand that internship sites
are not required to notify applicants who receive an interview but are later eliminated from
consideration. How will this affect my rankings?
- What happens if I'm not matched
with any internship site?
- What if I want to participate in
the Match with a partner?
- I am surprised and disappointed that I was matched to an
internship program that was much farther down on my list than I had
anticipated (or I wasn't matched at all). How could this happen?
- Should I consider attending a non-accredited or non-APPIC member internship program?
- How do I register for the Matching
Program?
- How do I make out my Rank Order List(s)?
- Do I need to use more than one Rank
Order List?
- What considerations are important
in developing my Rank Order List(s)?
- My program has several different
rotations, and I would like applicants to be able to rank order
the rotations in which they are interested. Is this possible?
- As a Training Director, I plan to
submit several Rank Order Lists to the Matching Program. Is
it permissible to include an applicant on more than one of these
lists?
- What if an applicant ranks our internship
program even though we are no longer interested in them?
- How confidential are my Rank Order
List(s)?
- I have a question with regard to
a possible game that could be played by a site by creating and
submitting multiple lists. Could a site with three positions,
for example, improve their chances of getting their three top
candidates by submitting three lists? Would this provide an
advantage by allowing them to have three #1 choices, rather
than ranking them as #1, #2, and #3 on a single list?
- Under the Matching Program, can't
people still make "under the table" deals?
- What happens if the Matching Program
doesn't fill all of my positions?
- How does the Matching Program assist
couples?
- Can you tell me more about how the
"Couples Match" works?
- Will the Couples Match reduce our
chances of being matched to internship sites?
- How long should agencies keep files
of intern applicants not selected?
- May internship sites require that
internship applicants supply a photo along with an application?
- Where videotapes of clients are submitted
as work samples by intern applicants, is there possible exposure
to legal liability? If clients
give their consent, will that prevent liability for invasion
of privacy? Who may be liable for
damages in such lawsuits?
