2006 APPIC Match: Survey of Internship Applicants

Were you matched to an internship program by the APPIC Match? (i.e., did your official notification from National Matching Services [NMS] indicate that you were successfully matched to an internship program?)

To how many internship sites did you apply (i.e., how many separate internship applications did you submit)?

Considering ALL of the sites to which you applied, how many did NOT notify you of your interview status (e.g., received an interview, no longer under consideration) on or before the "interview notification date" listed in their APPIC Directory information? For example, if all of your sites notified you in a timely manner, choose "0".

At how many sites were you offered an interview, but no interview took place (either via telephone or in-person) solely due to scheduling conflicts?

Did you participate in the Match with another person as a "couple" (i.e., by using special Match procedures to submit pairs of rankings?

For the Match, applicants were instructed to construct their Rank Order Lists based only on their TRUE preferences, and to ignore such things as how they thought they were ranked by programs, programs' popularity, number of positions offered by programs, etc.

How many sites asked you complete an online version of the AAPI (APPIC Application for Psychology Internships) via the internet?
