Hi Everyone!
As internship application seasons starts to ramp up, I wanted to run a couple questions by those of you on the site who have been through the process or are on the other side of the process reviewing applications. A few sites I'm applying to do not explicitly ask for a cover letter. One site states in their materials that they only want a "completed APPIC Application for Psychology Internship."
First, I wanted to ask, is there a consensus for what a "completed APPIC application is? To my understanding that's just filling in the information in the APPIC portal. But I wanted to be sure that some sites won't mean "completed" to include CV, LoR, Cover letter.
Second, for site who don't explicitly ask for a cover letter, should I omit? On one hand, and likely the bigger more important hand, it shows that I read the application materials carefully and gives me less room for error in terms of writing it, but on the other hand, I do enjoy the opportunity to speak about why the site is a good fit for me. Which I suppose I could also do on interview if invited.
Thank you!
