2007 APPIC Match: Survey of Internship Applicants
Part 2: Summary of Match Rates by Applicant and Program Characteristics
This page contains the second of two parts of the results from the survey of applicants who were registered for the 2007 APPIC Match, and provides match rates across a variety of applicant and program characteristics. Part one of the survey results may be viewed by clicking here.
PLEASE NOTE the following important notes about these results:
- Many of these characteristics are likely to be correlated (e.g., having children, being older, geographic restrictions). One should not assume cause-and-effect relationships based on this data.
- No significance testing has been performed on this data. Thus, one should not assume that differences are significant.
- Data with small n's have not had the match rate calculated.
- Applicants who withdrew from the Match or did not submit a Rank Order List were counted as "unmatched."
- Match rates are calculated based on the information provided by respondents to the survey.
All 3,698 applicants who registered for the APPIC Match were sent an e-mail message (along with two reminder e-mails) about the availability of the survey at a specific internet address. A total of 2,656 internship applicants (72%) completed some or all of the survey.

NOTE: These results should be interpreted cautiously. There are many variables that may be correlated with age (e.g., geographic restrictions, having children, number of sites to which one applied). Thus, the differences observed above, if significant, may be due to factors other than (or in addition to) age.
