My supervisor said we’re expected to show up/see clients that day... so I guess opening it in between clients and hoping I can still function after? 🥲
APPIC Interview Invitation Thread (2021)

This is a great idea, I bet it’ll just help to have a concrete plan like that too. My first client is 9am EST so fingers crossed they send the notifications early!! Thanks for the advice 🙂
Is anyone else feeling like time has never moved so slowly??? I cannot handle the waiting!!!
Same, I had a coworker mention today “omg it’s come up fast!” And I was like this is the slowest 2 weeks of my life 😩
Couldn't agree more!!!
Since I'm west coast, it will arrive at about the time I roll out of bed to prep for my lab meeting. Planning to spend the evening digitally celebrating with friends and family.
My program typically cancels the 1 class that’s held on Fridays for Match Day. Friday isn’t a clinical day for me but if it was I would’ve requested off months ago. I didn’t realize we’d be getting emails a couple hours before 10am, so my partner and I had planned to make a nice breakfast while I waited. Now, I’ll roll over and the email will already be in my inbox! (I don’t get out of bed before like 9 unless I really have to).

Any of you planning a Michael Scott-style "happy box/sad box" for Friday morning?

I have waves of anxiety but mostly trying to knock out a revise/resubmit and finish my dissertation before starting internship, which have been nice/stressful distractions. lol. That said, when my attention squirrels away, here I am on SDN eating popcorn and valentines day chocolate, of course. Less than 7 days and we can start preparing for the next steps on our journey. Hang in there!!!!!!!!

I think... I'm embracing it. Lol.
is it possible that the number of sites available in phase 2 will be lower relative to previous years? Some people think so since many sites interviewed significantly more applicants and as such, are likely to be eager to fill their positions in phase 1.
I will be at my practicum on that day. II have clients scheduled back to back until the end of the day. Therefore, I probably won’t have much time to process the outcome either way.
Did they?! Oh my gosh. How did you learn that? This makes me wonder if I only got some interviews because sites were interviewing more applicants... a useless thought to have right now but ahhh
They were willing to interview more applicants this year since there was already a higher number of people who applied.
Not an ounce of focus or motivation here...and not exactly trying to fight it🤷♀️
Just accepting the fact that I'm not going to be super productive this week. After the insanity of the fall and how hard I've worked throughout grad school, I've learned to just accept sometimes that I'm not always going to get everything done when my mind would like it done.
I was just thinking this to myself. Sitting here, making my daily to-do list and I realized...it is the same as yesterday's because... well, I couldn't concentrate yesterday and I definitely can't concentrate today.
What is everyone doing to push through this anxiety-filled week? How are you all coping?

Working out, de-catastrophizing various outcomes, drinking lots of water... and lots of Toaster Strudel and naps 🤷♀️🤷♀️
This is what I did and it’s helped so far. Normalizing that we can’t concentrate and just embracing it at this point! Watching the Cecil Hotel and my ole trusty (Dateline). And running the heck out of my dissertation!
Literally, just like that. I have also been just moving all of my To Do list items from one day to the next for the last few days because being this close is so nervewrecking!
Reading all your posts makes me feel like I should be doing something (or procrastinating from doing something)! My schedule has been pretty light all year. All I have is clinical work and dissertation, but I’ve had a lull in diss work and haven’t been doing anything. Imagine what it’s been like to have a pretty clear schedule and have to make up things to do to make the time pass! 
Meh, only thing I'm doing besides you is editing a manuscript I'm a 2nd author on. I am not submitting to conferences this year so I'm not doing my usual January-February abstract scramble.Reading all your posts makes me feel like I should be doing something (or procrastinating from doing something)!

Feeling the nerves so much! Sending good vibes and best wishes to all. Anybody know from previous years what exact time we will hear via email? I have heard before 10:00 a.m. ET but didn't know if that would be 8, 9:00....?
Looked like it came last year close to 8am EST, I have heard anecdotally that it's typically on the earlier side ahhh

Does anyone know what the email subject line says? I saw a picture of the actual body of the email but am just wondering what the subject line will be like. Anxiety at an all time high!

Your APPIC Match Results
The MATCH NEWS email says we should get an email between 8-9am eastern and if not, the website will display the result at 10.
A (paraphrased) post I remember seeing on last year’s thread: “Someone once said the day before Match Day is like the Christmas Eve from hell.”
Merry “Christmas Eve from hell”! 🎄🤣
Cheers to none of us getting a lump of coal tomorrow!

my school's email.....the one attached to my match is down and cannot be fixed until next week!!!!!! I AM BUGGING OUT
Oh no! Do not panic. You should have access to the match website at 10 AM EST where it will show your result in that portal!
I was lucky that I was extremely busy last week and didn’t feel the days pass by. But this. week. is. crawling. I had a long to do list this week, but because I was working without a deadline, I got nothing done. I need this to be over. Whether this week is crawling or flying for you, I’m sending you all positive thoughts! May the odds be in our favor tomorrow!

Anyone thinking that they will pull an all-nighter?! 
Haha, my goal is to literally get to bed as early as possible so I can just wake up and it'll be tomorrow. I mean, I expect I'll probably have a bit of trouble sleeping but that will be the goal.Anyone thinking that they will pull an all-nighter?!
Quite the opposite, I want to lull myself to sleep at 7pm LOL (god willing)Anyone thinking that they will pull an all-nighter?!
Right like I plan on taking night quill and knocking my ass OUT
That is an EXCELLENT idea. Some sleepy time tea and Nyquil should do the trick lololol.
Jeez, do you really need em both?! 😂😂
The more sedation, the better. lol. (I am 82% kidding)
same, but i'm not kidding!
Feel you on that! I woke up like 6 times last night soooo I need all the sedation I can get
I am going to try my hardest to sleep but I am 93% sure I will be laying in bed reading something to pass the time by until 8am. It may be an unintentional all-nighter 😂Anyone thinking that they will pull an all-nighter?!
