2013 APPIC Match Statistics - Phase II
March 25, 2013
This report provides statistics and information about Phase II of the 2013 APPIC Match, and the submission of applications via the AAPI Online service in Phase II.
Here is a brief summary:
- Of the 1,387 applicants who were eligible to participate in Phase II (i.e., who either withdrew or were not matched in Phase I), 903 submitted one or more applications in Phase II, 665 submitted a Rank Order List in Phase II, and 232 were matched in Phase II.
- Applicants submitted an average of 11.3 applications in Phase II, an 11% increase as compared to the mean of 10.2 applications submitted per applicant in Phase II of the 2012 Match.
- Sites received an average of 66 applications in Phase II, a 22% decrease as compared to an average of 85 received last year in Phase II.
- In Phase II, internship Training Directors were allowed to add new programs and positions that were not previously offered in Phase I (e.g., if additional funding was obtained), and a total of 9 programs and 21 positions were added. However, 13 programs with 28 positions were withdrawn from Phase II, 10 programs with 16 positions submitted no ranks, and 5 programs submitted fewer ranks than they had available positions, resulting in 8 positions with no ranks. As a result, of the 303 positions in Phase II, 52 had no chance of being filled in the Phase II Match. Reasons that programs withdrew or did not submit ranks included a decision not to fill their position(s), uncertain funding, and not having enough qualified applicants (e.g., for specialized positions with specific requirements).

MATCH RATES IN PHASE II BY DEGREE TYPE

| TOTAL | 232 | 16.7% | 433 | 31.2% | 722 | 52.1% | 1,387 |
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: Three students seeking Ed.D. degrees were included in the Ph.D. category in order to prevent individuals from being identified.
