FAQ for Internship Applicants Back

Question 3. I am participating in the APPIC Match, but I am
applying to several internship programs that are not participating
in the Match. How can I deal with this situation?
Applying to both participating and non-participating internship
programs may result in your having to make some difficult choices.
Basically, an applicant who participates in the Match would only
be able to accept a position from a non-participating internship
program: (1) PRIOR to submitting a Rank Order List to the Match
(and then immediately submitting a formal withdrawal from the
Match), or (2) AFTER receiving their results on APPIC Match Day
and learning that they were not matched to any internship program.
Once you submit a Rank Order List to the Match, you are then
obligated to accept whatever site you are matched to. You are
not permitted to back out of this obligation.
If you receive an offer from a non-participating program before
submitting your Rank Order List, you have to make a potentially
difficult decision. You must decide to either: (1) accept the
position from the non-participating site and withdraw from the
Match, or (2) decline the position from the non-participating
site and submit your Rank Order List to the Match.
