So does anyone know when the PDF Copies of tyhe APPIC internships for this coming year will be available? The website says December, which is obviously BS. Searching is ok, but I'd rather have a PDF copy to go through to weed out places. I know the June 1st deadline for internship sites has passed, so APPIC has all the info they need. GRRR... I wanna get on the ball over the summer and start this process....

Just work on your essays and other materials. If you're freaking out over the process this early in the game, it won't be a pleasant summer/early fall. Just start making a list of the programs that you are a good fit for and wait for the portal to open.

You need to subscribe to the email listserv. Here is a recent email from Greg Keilin sent out encouraging new applicants to subscribe to the listserv:

NOTICE TO STUDENTS AND DIRECTORS OF CLINICAL TRAINING We would like your assistance in notifying students who will be applying for internship this coming Fall about the existence of APPIC's MATCH-NEWS e-mail list. In the coming weeks and months, APPIC will be distributing some important announcements about the Match, the AAPI Online, the APPIC Directory Online, and other important news items, and we would like as many students as possible to be aware of this information.

An easy way to notify future internship applicants is to forward them a copy of this e-mail message. Information about how to subscribe to MATCH-NEWS is provided below. We VERY STRONGLY recommend that students subscribe to MATCH-NEWS themselves rather than rely on others to forward the announcements to them.

In addition to MATCH-NEWS, APPIC maintains a separate, optional discussion list for internship applicants, called INTERN-NETWORK, and information about this list is provided below.

Thanks for your assistance.

THE MATCH-NEWS E-MAIL LIST

MATCH-NEWS is a free e-mail list provided by APPIC as a service to Match participants. It is very strongly recommended that all internship applicants (as well as academic and internship Training Directors) subscribe to this list as early as possible in the process (i.e., subscribe now if you plan to apply to internship programs this Fall). Students who are not yet ready for internship are also welcome to subscribe. MATCH-NEWS is an "announce-only" list, which means that only APPIC can post messages to the list. The volume of e-mail messages will generally be very small, usually ranging from zero to five messages per month. As the Match approaches, MATCH-NEWS will be the primary method of communicating important late-breaking news and information about the Match, as well as tips and suggestions about how to make the most of the process. Many applicants from previous years have told us that the messages posted to MATCH-NEWS were extremely helpful to them in navigating the selection process.

NOTE: If you previously signed up for MATCH-NEWS and are still subscribed to this e-mail list, there is no need to sign up again.

To subscribe to the MATCH-NEWS e-mail list, send a blank e-mail message to the following address:

[email protected]
You will subsequently receive an e-mail message (with the subject line, "Your confirmation needed") that contains instructions for you to follow in order to confirm your subscription. Simply follow the instructions in that message, and you will soon receive a "Welcome" e-mail in response. This "Welcome" e-mail confirms that you are successfully subscribed to the list (please note that you are NOT subscribed to the list until you have received the "Welcome" message).

PLEASE NOTE: If your e-mail program uses "Spam" or "Junk Mail" filtering, it is possible that the confirmation message from the APPIC server will be automatically redirected to your "Junk Mail" folder without your knowledge. If you do not receive a confirmation message in your "Inbox," you should check your "Spam" or "Junk Mail" folder to see if the message is there.

At the same time, programs will learn the names of the applicants to whom they have been matched along with whether or not they have any unfilled positions.

Furthermore, on each APPIC Match Day, DCTs of academic programs that are APPIC Doctoral Program Associates will learn the Match result information for each of their students.​

I agree with WisNeuro. Use the summer to work on essays and gathering supplemental materials (i.e. testing reports, treatment summaries). The summer is also a good time to get a tentative list of sites, but keep in mind that information (e.g. hour requirements, rotations, number of slots, structure of the training year) might change in an updated training brochure. I made the mistake of assuming all of the data posted on the directory during the summer was updated, which caused some headaches. Good luck!

The listserv is also a priceless resource, but can have its drawbacks (e.g. increase anxiety and panic) as the application process progresses.

Agreed as well. As for the listserve, I joined the one that sent out the formal updates (such as the ones OneNeuroDoctor posted), but didn't bother with the one involving student questions and replies--as PsychBoxe said, I'd heard from other folks that it didn't do much for them other than ramp up their anxiety.

I loved the student questions one, actually. It wasn't very helpful but it was entertaining!
