Had an AWESOME interview at a VA out West and just saw they're in Phase II now with two openings. Really? Glad I'm not dating cuz I totally misjudged that connection! #kickinthejunk
There's a track on the Phase II list that I ranked higher than the site I matched at, and they have 2 openings.Had an AWESOME interview at a VA out West and just saw they're in Phase II now with two openings. Really? Glad I'm not dating cuz I totally misjudged that connection! #kickinthejunk
I guess your higher ranked site didn’t like you enough, lol
Do you make it your goal to be a super dingus to people on the forum? I've seen your reactions and responses to posts. What's the point of these interactions?I guess your higher ranked site didn’t like you enough, lol

Thanks LadyEmmaPeel. I matched to my 4th, which is objectively a great site, but it stings that my top 3 didn't like me as much as I like them. Ah well, life goes on. I hope we can all be supportive of each other through this process.Oh I thought that was directed at me and not you; had to look again. Sorry boo! How did your match turn out? I feel like we had similar reactions.

Same here. Cried a whole bunch but feeling okay now. I think.

Same! Does this mean you weren’t ranked at that site at all? Especially if you ranked the site high?
I think we're going to be in the same city, if I read what you wrote correctly. Hope to see you around.I cried with relief more so than celebration of where I matched. I found out I will be near so many beaches and close to Disneyland so the perks are getting better the more I look at the area!!! Mind you I have kiddos (although I'm a kid at heart)
This is accurate...I guess your higher ranked site didn’t like you enough, lol
Same happened to me with one of my top sites! I completely understandHad an AWESOME interview at a VA out West and just saw they're in Phase II now with two openings. Really? Glad I'm not dating cuz I totally misjudged that connection! #kickinthejunk
I was just looking through the list out of curiosity and I can't get over the INCREDIBLE sites in phase II!Congratulations, everyone! I am grateful to match at my #1.
Anyone else surprised with the number of really competitive sites with multiple spots in Phase II? APPIC Match | Participating Internships

It weirds me out that my number #2 (matched to my #3) is on there with 2 spots open lol But then again, I think they were so disorganized and didn't even know my name much less had no idea on what tracks I applied to.
Omg, that sounds like an awful experience. I would hate to be at an unorganized internship site for the final year. I think you might've dodged a bullet!

I didn't lol I matched to another track there Hey anything is better than what I am doing now!!
In your opinion, what are those sites?I am SHOCKED AF at some of the sites that have spots open. Shocked...jealous...a range of emotions!
I’m in round 2 and now I’m nervous if all that’s left is competitive sites or non apa sites....The top VA sites and all the neuro sites. Those are SO competitive!

I didn’t match. Thanks for reinforcing the painful thoughts man.This is accurate...
Meant @ the guy you were replying to.I didn’t match. Thanks for reinforcing the painful thoughts man.
I'm just curious as to why you would think this is an appropriate comment to make, why you are posting "sad face" reactions on posts where people are excited about their match, and "laughing" reactions on posts where people are clearly disappointed or seeking support? And then going to the Phase II board and doing the same thing?? I hope you treat your patients with more decorum than you are showing your colleagues on these forums.I guess your higher ranked site didn’t like you enough, lol
Yeah this person is harassing people for....being sad they didn’t match? There are absolutely people here who should not be therapists and it’s not necessarily those who didn’t match round 1.I'm just curious as to why you would think this is an appropriate comment to make, why you are posting "sad face" reactions on posts where people are excited about their match, and "laughing" reactions on posts where people are clearly disappointed or seeking support?

I matched to my #7 choice out of 15 rankings. I was very disappointed and shocked at first but after reflecting on it, I think it will be ok. It's a great program and I only ranked it low because of location. It seems that neuro internships in particular are just becoming more and more competitive. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason and I am trying to look at this as another one of the many obstacles I've had to overcome on this journey called life. Hoping that everything works out for everyone and sending only positive vibes out!
Is a site "bad" if it's not APA accredited but APPIC accredited?
So what does it mean when they are APPIC accredited but not APA?It’s not necessarily “bad” it’s just not accredited. Being an APPIC member doesn’t = accredited.
My TD said APPIC doesn't mean anything. In the eyes of our state, it's the same as non accredited. No extra points for being part of APPIC (because if I understand correctly, sites just pay money to be part of APPIC and have to meet some minimum standards...but it's not like a big process to get into APPIC).So what does it mean when they are APPIC accredited but not APA?

The majority of institutional positions (VA, hospital, AMC) also require an APA accredited internship. It's a HUGE deal.No, not bad, but certain post-doc positions require an APA approved internship, so you have to be careful. If you're not planning on post-doc or board certification for neuro, then it's not a big deal.

That tells you something about the programs. I'd prefer my program be honest with me about closing the door on a huge number of jobs nationwide.Cool you should let them know that. A lot of psych programs out here don't make a big deal out of the accredited vs. non-accredited because they don't want students to feel badly if they only match to a non-accredited site.
That's fine, we don't need to make them feel crappy about it. But, we should be giving people currently making that decision accurate information. I'm not attacking you, merely correcting a misinterpretation of the situation.Okay, I hear you. I'm not going to get into a back and forth with a board certified neuropsychologist, lol. The reality is that some students will match to an APPIC site and not an accredited site. I am not going to make them feel crappy about it. I had friends who matched APPIC last year and they received awesome training. It's what was available to them.
Then why not reply directly to them earlier in the rodeo instead of skipping them and coming at me instead? We have great psych programs in NYC, but with so much competition, not everyone will match at an accredited site. It has nothing to do with the "quality" of the programs ("re: that says something about the programs then"). We're all encouraged to apply to accredited sites, but you're not a poop if you have to apply to an APPIC site and that's the one you match with.
I responded to the direct quote of the inaccurate information. It's there so that people reading can see and get that information in the future, as these threads are commonly re-referenced in future application cycles. Not sure why you are making this personal, it was a simple correction of inaccurate information. Nothing more.
