News from the clearinghouse front: Things have slowed quite a bit. I can't say I found much, as I didn't apply to any sites. Most of the APA-accredited sites were counseling centers (which isn't my thing). There was one decent VA, but it was not in my specialty. All in all, I was just taking a peak in to see what was there, but I was (and am) planning on staying another year.
Hope others had better luck!
I did CH last year and ultimately declined my offers because they weren't a good "fit". It was a really hard to see others go off to internship, but I made sure to make the most of my time (2 presentations, 1 publication in the works, TA 3 more classes, almost finish my pharma degree, etc) and I think that helped me land a solid VA placement this year.
The scary thing about Clearing House is that because of the "rush" of everything, people often consider things they may have been dead set against just a few months ago (Take a placement in an area they don't really like, take a non-APA site, etc)
Anyone in CH....PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't get too caught up in the process. Life happens, and this is just one blip on the radar.
