Hate myself a little for asking but does anyone know what the first lines of the email will say if we matched/didn't match? Clearly my coping mechanisms are insufficient because imagining the anxiety of the pause between when I click the notification and the email actually opens is 🙃

I’ve seen screenshots that start off with “this message provides your results in Phase 1 (etc).

Congratulations you have matched!”

Not sure about not matching though 😐 but that first line is likely the same.

[spottiedottie0485]

Fingers and toes crossed for all of us!!

 

[ccpsych16]

See y’all on the other side!

 

[2ndMrshmllw]

Jumping on the NyQuil train. Sweet dreams (hopefully) and good luck everyone!

 

[dmh89]

What is sleep?

 

[tdot_psych]

I’m mad I didn’t check this earlier and see the NyQuil idea 🤣

 

[babkelneuro]

Definitely not sleeping. Definitely finishing up season 3 of Under the Dome until it's time o.o

 

[dmh89]

Welll.... at least I got 4 hours of sleep. Already up and anxiously waiting. Who’s up with me?

Me hahahah high five

 

[avkry13]

Me hahahah high five

I'm up too, can't fall asleep

 

[VintageRed]

I haven’t slept a wink. This is awful. I keep telling myself that maybe it will come way earlier than I expect.

 

[ph-ohnoshebetter-do]

Yup! I’m awake... counting down the minutes lol! Wondering if it comes through right at 8 or in droves?

 

[ccpsych16]

I barely slept, which is unusual because I’m typically exhausted and fall asleep + wake up at reasonable times. I didn’t have this much sleep disturbance before interviews, when I was also excited/nervous!

 

[VintageRed]

Yup! I’m awake... counting down the minutes lol! Wondering if it comes through right at 8 or in droves?

In past years, it looks like it may have even come before 8. Looking at last year’s thread, people mentioned that they had gotten theirs at 7:30am EST. And that sometimes they come in droves.

 

[20intern21]

Haven’t slept. Coping by watching Sky High. Unhinged.

That’s a great movie so I say you are still hinged. Lol

Thank you!! 🙂))

Anyone heard anything yet? Dying over here lol

NOPE! Also dying. With sweaty hands.

 

[spacegiraffe]

It’s 8:01 come on Greg!!!

 

[thatswhatipsych]

It’s 8:01 come on Greg!!!

YES!! it’s been two weeks, tell me what critical thing is happening at 8:04 😰 (all jokes tho)

 

[discolemonade]

Just got mine. 1st choice! I’m shaking/in shock. Good luck to all!

 

[ccpsych16]

I GOT THE EMAIL (haven’t open yet, can’t stop freaking out, might pass out)

 

[relationalpsych]

Just got mine too!! Thank you all for being so supportive during this process. I'm sending positive vibes!

 

[cortisolace]

Received my email at 7:09am CST. Matched to my #2!

 

[clinicaldoc2020]

Just got my email. I matched to my #2 choice. I wish everyone the best!!

 

[intern21]

Matched to #2!

 

[ccpsych16]

Finally mustered the courage to open it. Matched to my #1!!!! Woo!!!

 

[AverageAnt]

Matched to my number one 😭 so excited, extending a virtual hug to all who receive (hopefully good) news today!

 

[psychicago]

It can seem like such a crazy process. Matched at my #5 - good energy to everyone 🙂

 

[Indiana_Jane]

Total shock. Matched to my number #1. Can’t believe I’m going to really be a forensic psychologist!!!

 

[dmh89]

Matched to my #1!! Congrats to all those who matched and for those who didn’t, we’re rooting for you! It’s been a challenging and competitive year!

 

[neuro_is_the_werd]

So happy to breathe again! Matched at my #1! What a year. Lots of love to all the applicants this crazy year!

 

[KKint]

Matched #2!

 

[YungPsy]

Matched to my #1! I really appreciate everyone here for all the helpful guidance and support! Congrats to everyone who went through this crazy process regardless of the outcome.

Who is the best person to speak to if we have questions about our match results?

 

[neuropsycho12]

I think last year people provided their personal stats which was helpful for me to not panic when I got so many fewer interviews than expected, so I'll do that:

Applied to 15
5 interviews (plus one who said I could rank them but I didn't get an interview)
Matched at my #1

Definitely still in shock!

 

[WisNeuro]

Who is the best person to speak to if we have questions about our match results?

Probably depends on what the question is.

Match Contact Information

Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers, Postdoc Interns, Psychology Internships, Psych Internship Matching - APPIC

www.appic.org

 

[AcronymAllergy]

Who is the best person to speak to if we have questions about our match results?

Potentially depends on the type(s) of questions. You could reach out to APPIC (their support email is on the website somewhere; I don't have it handy at the moment) if it's about the Match process. There may be a contact for NMS if you wonder if there was some type of mistake, although even in that situation, reaching out to APPIC first is probably the best bet.

If it's about the program you matched with, you can probably ask the training director of the program once the moratorium on contact is lifted later this morning.

 

[AcronymAllergy]

Also, congrats to all who matched. To those who didn't, definitely take some time to process, and I suspect there will be a number of great sites in Phase II.

Agreed - this feels helpful in keeping the whole thing in perspective. Here's mine!

Applied to 10
2 interviews
Matched at #1


Congrats to all who matched! And to my friends and SDN-mates who didn't match - take your time to process and feel your feelings and be gentle with yourself. When you're ready to hear this: Please know that this process and the match results are NOT a representation of you. They are some numbers that get pushed out of an algorithm... a robot's opinion, if you will. You are wise, talented, hardworking, and deserving. A number's game doesn't define you and does not begin to adequately represent the incredible work and dedication that has led you to this point in your doctoral journey. When you're ready, Phase II is on the horizon and it sounds like there will be plenty of incredible and competitive sites anxiously awaiting to hear from you - the talented, amazing clinical-scientists-to-be that you are.

Sending my love and support to everyone - good news or disappointing news. <3

For those interested and who may have not already gotten an email, Phase I statistics are up:

Match Statistics - 2021 - Phase I

Looks like there was an increase in the number of applicants (6%) and decrease in the number of sites (2%, although the latter were all non-accredited).

 

[Newropsych]

Who is the best person to speak to if we have questions about our match results?

During my year, one of my cohort mates didn’t match so they contacted Greg Keilin himself. She said he was really supportive (and didn’t giving away ranks/preferences of other sites), but essentially let her know she was ranked but others were ranked higher, which is why she didn’t match.

 

[dmh89]

What’s the protocol for the TD call? If any. I don’t want to come off as overzealous.

 

[WesterlyOwl]

Matched at #1! It's still sinking in! I just want to say congrats to all of us for getting through this process. No one really prepares you for the stress and workload of this entire application process. We should all be proud of ourselves for making it this far! Sending everyone virtual hugs on this big day!

We did it!!
