Hi EVERYONE ! As others have done in years prior, I wanted to start this as a support thread for those of us going into Phase II. Please feel free to post any words of encouragement, memes, or updates you may have (including interview invites)!

Hi everyone! I’m currently going through the stress of Phase 2 of the APPIC Match and received an email saying I’ve advanced to the next stage of the selection process. I was invited to an open house, but there was no mention of an interview offer. Has this happened to anyone before? Should I...

New here, but I'm applying for internships this cycle. I've already got a few interviews! But there's this one site I'm still on the fence about applying for (due date is December 1). It's a forensic hospital that ideally has everything I'm looking for in terms of training, but I noticed they...

On the APPIC Application, it asks the question, "Have you ever been convicted of an offense against the law other than a minor traffic violation? If 'Yes', please elaborate" If needing to answer "Yes", Will most internship sites see this on my APPIC app and not even consider that application...

Hello! I am applying to internship soon and am hoping for some advice. I am interested in clinical tracks / rotations (particularly eating disorders) that would ideally put me in academic medical center or research hospital settings, based on where those opportunities are. Currently, I have no...

Does anyone have any insight as to how internship sites may view people coming from a PhD program with an initial APA site-visit scheduled after internship applications have been submitted? For context, I attend a large, R1, state university in a fairly new School Psychology PhD program (has...

Hi all! I am participating in the APPIC match. I have 9 interviews at sites with APA Accreditation, and 1 interview at a site that is not yet accredited but has their site visit in February (after match day). If the site visit goes well, they will be "accredited on contingency" before my...

Please use this thread to share information about the 2023-2024 APPIC internship interview invitations. Interview Excel Sheet Here is the link from last year for folks to see the last 3 years' worth of data in one spot! (Thanks to loveroflinehanandresick)...

Hi there everyone. I'm applying to Clinical Psychology internships this fall (for the 2023-24 year) using AAPI and I'm unsure about disclosing a sealed record from 2012 when I was 18. I received a Minor in Possession of alcohol ticket, which is a misdemeanor without arrest, but it was sealed by...

I (25 y/o female) made a dumb mistake and drove home after going out last year (feb2021). I had a few drinks, on an empty stomach after working all day, and ignorantly thought that if i stopped drinking by 10:30ish I would be good to drive by 2. I really had no knowledge of BAC and how long it...

Wondering how folks feel about applying to an internship site that states they are currently accredited until Jan 2022, and have their site visit then. They don't say anything about how long they've been accredited for, or how confident they are they will be re-accredited. I really like the...

Here we go, folks! Please use this thread and this corresponding Google sheet to share information about the 2022-2023 APPIC internship interview invitations. You're more than welcome to PM me the information to stay anonymous and I'll post it for you! Please use the following format- Official...

It has come to my attention that both US and Canadian sites are listed as available for match on the APPIC directory. Neuropsychology is my area of specialization and there were a number of neuro internships in Canada that really caught my attention, but I wasn't sure as to the true feasibility...

Hey my fellow Phase II-ers. I figured we could start up our own thread for Phase II. Hopefully this is a safe space where we can provide each other with support, advice, and post about interview notifications. I hope everyone is taking care of themselves during these challenging times.

Hello, I'm an American PhD student in school psychology applying for an internship through APPIC. I have applied to a school district in Canada, but I'm not sure which visa would be appropriate for me, given I will not have my degree but will not be a student, technically (although I'll still be...

I’m wondering what questions to ask to get a better sense of the culture of a site.

Hello everyone! I have ADHD and internship has brought out the worst of my symptoms. I’m on medication and working with a MD, but everyday I feel like a failure. I have a therapist, but ones covered by my insurance don’t really have training in “executive functioning” or adult ADHD (a very...

Hi all! I'm hoping to get some guidance on logging peer-to-peer supervision hours on Time2Track, with an eye toward APPIC applications. I am currently working as a peer supervisor at my University's clinic for assessment practicum. A few questions: 1. I will assist during 3 hours of supervision...

I thought I would start a thread for those of us going into phase II. I found the other threads helpful for support, advice, and updated info on interviews and notifications. So although I am stoked for everyone who will be successful in phase I to those of us in phase II good luck, we are all...

Hi All, Sorry for another internship post, but I'm looking for some guidance on ranking sites. I have talked to my three supervisors so far and I am still lost on what to do. I interviewed at 8 sites and have 9 positions to rank. This time last year, I thought that I would be happy to have an...

Hi all, I thought I'd start a thread in advance for those of us who either know that they will be in Phase II since they received no interviews in Phase I (hello, me), or who end up in Phase II after not getting matched in Phase I. Hopefully this can be a great source of support and...

I am sure it’s an irrational fear, but APPIC’s matching process makes me so nervous. ;)

I am applying for Internship this year and I was hoping I could get someone's(preferably a doctoral level clinician) eyes on my APPI essays? They are all completed, but I was just hoping for some initial thoughts, reactions, feedback. And obviously, if there was something blaringly wrong it'd be...

Hi all, I was looking for your expertise on a question regarding a letter of rec for my predoctoral internship. I am starting a practicum next week and I'm planning to apply to internship this year (2018-2019). Would it be appropriate to ask my supervisor to write a letter of rec for...

Hey y'all, A fellow student in my program stated the following in response to a class discussion (wording is slightly altered): "It's unfortunate that the training we get in schools isn't considered clinical hours. I was shocked to hear that school counseling hours are not counted as clinical...

Hi all, I was discussing pre-doctoral internships with a peer and we both have decided to seek sites in rural / frontier communities. Does anyone have a list of rural sites? I've started a list but figured it'd be worthwhile posting to see if anyone has one created already. Thanks!

Folks in the internship invite/rejection thread had the idea of creating a thread about interview questions, so viola. Please feel free to share materials you have or sources you have found helpful for you to prepare. If you have example questions from previous years, it would be cool to know...

*I'm not sure if this was posted somewhere else but I couldn't find it, please delete if duplicated* I've been recently looking at civilian job posting working with the military. I attended an APA program, but due to not having an advisor (she abruptly quit my institution) or much guidance...

My partner is a year below me in the program and the two of us are trying to decide whether or not couples matching is a good idea. Does anyone have experience with or advice for couples matching that they'd be willing to share? Is it going to cut our chances significantly of being matched?

I was searching the forum for previous Post-doc threads, and noticed there was not one for this year. Here's the one from 2015-2016. I was thinking this could be useful for discussion of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), as well as the new Uniform Notification Date (February 27, 2017) according...

Last year APPIC moved to the standardized reference template. While it (from what I hear) was a disaster, it seems this year they are continuing with that format. My questions are as follows, and may be only interpretive in nature: The section instructions state that "Your reference is...

Hi all, I need opinions, and fast! I'm in an APA counseling psyc program after completing a terminal masters and practicing for one year. I want to get opinions on how likely it is to match to APA internship site with the typical minimum of 400 hours? It seems possible that I can complete my...

Hi all, I'll be moving from California to New York City for internship. My family is moving with me and we're trying to figure out details. My NYC friends and colleagues have been helpful in tips on looking for apartments, but the move itself has been difficult to plan. We don't intend on...

Running list of notifications/interview invites from sites participating in Phase 2. Feel free to PM me or post the following info on the thread, and I will keep track of it here: - Site & Track - Date of Notification - Method of Notification (mass/personalized email, phone call, etc) - Type of...

Hi all! I'm a canadian psyd in phase II of the APPIC match process. I'm interested in casting a wide met to increase my chances of matching, so I'm planning on applying to US sites in this round. Does anyone have suggestions for sites that have a more psychodynamic, interpersonal or experiential...

Is it bad form to ask an APPIC-accredited internship site in interview if they intend on pursuing APA accreditation?

This is a running list of interview notifications and rejections for the 2015-2016 APPIC internship application cycle. Please utilize the following format when providing information on interview notifications: -Site name & Match ID number -Track (if applicable) -Invite or rejection -Date...
