I'm up too, can't fall asleep
I haven’t slept a wink. This is awful. I keep telling myself that maybe it will come way earlier than I expect.

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.

Haven’t slept. Coping by watching Sky High. Unhinged.
That’s a great movie so I say you are still hinged. Lol

It can seem like such a crazy process. Matched at my #5 - good energy to everyone 🙂
Total shock. Matched to my number #1. Can’t believe I’m going to really be a forensic psychologist!!!

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

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
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.
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).
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).
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.

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!!
We did it!!

Speaking from the "other side": You probably won't do anything that would shock anyone but just saying you're excited and looking forward to the year is about all you need to do.
My TD basically called me screaming in excitement. That was interesting.
Oh my gosh, exciting day matching at my top choice! Been awake since 3:45am and didn't sleep much before that ... now just waiting for this TD call so I can take a nap! haha

Just got my call! Nap time!

For those who didn’t match OR matched but are disappointed, how are you coping today?
I matched far down my list and am feeling grateful for matching but disappointed. Hard not to compare to others and the stats!

Is it a bad sign if we haven’t gotten the TD call yet? Not me over here already stressing about the next thing 😂🤦♀️

Lol same, just popped on here to see if anyone else was in the same boat. Technically they said between 11 - 1? I know my site has over 10 interns to call so I'm hoping they're just chatting with each one and taking their time getting to me...? Wonder when/if we send an email to the TD saying we're happy we matched? haha
