APPLICANTS

Each Position Was Ranked by an Average of 5.7 Applicants.

INTERNSHIP PROGRAMS

NOTE: A training site can offer more than one "program" in the Match. Each "program" was identified in the Match by a separate 6-digit code number.

NOTE: The number of positions that withdrew or had no ranks submitted included 34 positions at programs that withdrew or did not submit any ranks, and 15 positions at programs that did submit ranks but the number of ranks submitted was less than the number of positions.

NOTE: Programs that submitted a Rank Order List with fewer ranks than positions available were counted as "unfilled".

NOTE: For programs that submitted a Rank Order List with fewer ranks than positions available, the positions without ranks were counted as "no ranks" rather than "unfilled" (e.g., a program submitting 1 rank for 3 positions would have 2 positions counted as "no ranks").

Non-accredited positions represented 88% of all positions remaining unfilled in Phase II of the Match.

NOTE: Due to the limited number of APA- and CPA-accredited positions available in Phase II, along with the high desirability of these positions, students who applied only to accredited programs in Phase II (due to personal choice and/or restrictions by their graduate programs) likely experienced greater difficulty in getting matched.

NOTE: Students seeking Ed.D. degrees were included in the Ph.D. category in order to prevent individuals from being identified.

^*NOTE: Due to unusual circumstances, three applicants who were matched in Phase I were released from their Match commitments by APPIC. These applicants were eligible to participate in Phase II. In addition, one site, one program, and three positions that were previously filled in Phase I were added into Phase II.
