Agreed. I have a sinking feeling I'll be perusing unfilled positions tomorrow.

Holy UND...match day is intense. Hang in there, fellow warriors!!

I received my first email letting me know that one of my sites has filled all of their positions (27 minutes in...). Crossing fingers!! I am holding an offer and waiting for a reciprocal...
Did you call your too picks for a reciprocal offer?

I actually didn't need to. I was considering 3 sites; 1 gave an offer, 1 is pending (who I called immediately asking for a reciprocal offer; they're pending because they're on hold themselves and can't give a definitive answer until that last person answers them), and one already emailed that they are full. If that third site had not emailed that they are full, I would have waited to hear back from the first site I requested a reciprocal offer from, then called the second site after I heard a 'no' from the first site I requested a reciprocal from.
I accepted a position at the Cleveland VA!

I accepted my top choice at 10:05 and there is a Wegmans in the same city so I want to cry with happiness.
Wishing the same joy to all of you!!!!
Wishing the same joy to all of you!!!!
Dude one of my sites did not email about their positions being filled...I had to email the TD to find out
this is horrible. the guidelines says they 'must'
It's definitely looking like I might be in the next round of applying. How does applying for unfilled positions work? Is it just first come-first serve?
i think it jumps to being most comparable to the post-match vacancy
have you heard that sites are filled or just silence?
Both.
It’s looking bad for me too
I wish we didn’t have to wait until tomorrow to know what the situation looks like after UND

If we have not received an offer, are we able to ask about our position with another site that has been quiet?
I’ve heard that we are allowed to but the answer would typically just be they are still waiting for a final answer from someone
Similarly- anyone know if there is a place to see who has been to it in the past?
Post-Match for me. When can we start applying to sites?

That is so exciting, congratulations! I am leaving a Wegmans city, so I can understand your priorities!
i think tomorrow?
There are already some up on UPPD
For some reason I thought everything would be resolved today....does the notification/acceptance process ever last longer than a day? I have a site I still have heard nothing from.
I would go ahead and contact them at this point. I did contact one that was still silence after 2 PM and was told they filled their spots. maybe not all are emailing

Thanks for answering my questions! My internship site tends to retain most of its interns and so they are not great at providing advice/guidance through this process.
I had the same thing happen!
no problem! i'm the only intern at my site applying for postdoc too. so we can work together on the general knowledge!
Hennepin Healthcare Child Fellowship was just posted on Disision 38
Thank you!
Anyone know of any forensic sites still looking?
One site emailed me like 3 days later back when I interviewed for sites, but it wasn’t through APPIC at the time, although most sites still used the UND. I assumed no offer when I didn’t hear from the site on the UND, and I was right.
For those still looking for counseling center positions, you might try universitycounseingjobs.com, which posts jobs from time to time.
For folks familiar with the APPCN match (or any lurking TDs or ranking decision-makers), does anyone have insight into what "You are competitive with our top applicants" really means? I mean, I know what match policies say, but I'm wondering what "receiving serious consideration" means from a ranking perspective. I'd assume it varies by site to some extent? (I should also include the caveat that these kinds of emails are not swaying my ranking decisions, but am curious about this post-interview, pre-rank communication.)

Going to vary quite a bit, but generally means that you may be in the top ranking group.
What is "the top ranking group"? Or does that also vary by site? Also, what is the purpose of these emails more broadly? So many questions...
Top ranking group varies quite widely, also dependent on the number of incoming postdocs. Purpose is generally to let people know where they stand because many people are applying to match and non-match sites and it can help them in some of their decision making.
Also just saw pediatric psych postings for St. Jude’s in Memphis, children’s hospital of Wisconsin, and Marshfield Medical Center. Keep plugging along- tons of great sites still for the taking!!
Thanks! We’re these from division 54? Somehow I fell off that list serve
I got them on Div 53. I can send you them in a PM?
That would be great! Thank you!
Just posting again. any APPCN students know what time e-mails for match will go out on Monday?
I heard someone last year got theirs at 7:00 am Central.
Congrats to everyone that received an offer!
