[QUOTE="rmenoch, post: 14931446, member: 234230"] [B]How many sites you applied to (and how many were APA accredited)[/B] I applied to 20 sites (all APA-accredited). 19 UCCs and 1 teaching hospital. [B]How many interviews you received[/B] 11 [B] If you matched or not and to what type of site[/B] I matched in Phase I to my first choice - a teaching hospital with two major rotations specialized area that I have experience. [B]What type of sites you were applying to (research-focused, neuro, peds, etc)[/B] I'm primarily focused on LGBT identity and mental health so all my sites had an emphasis on this population. I also have an interest in forensics but getting an internship with both of these training areas seemed unlikely.
