APPIC Internship Leaderboard

An interactive, client-side dashboard for ranking APPIC-listed psychology internship programs by personalized fit.

What you can do

• —Sort + filter by any column — score, stipend, FT positions, interview rate, S+C %, hours requirement, location, specialty, deadline.
• —Re-weight the score — open the admin panel (top-right arrow) and tune the seven dimensions (track, research, setting, location, specialty, child focus, orientation). Sliders rebuild the leaderboard live.
• —Edit dot ratings — click any tier pip to upgrade/downgrade a program on a dimension. Edits are saved per-user to a backend (you'll be prompted to pick a username on first load) so they persist across browsers and devices.
• —Download your edits — export your view of the dataset as JSON for backup or sharing.
• —Reset anytime — restore the baseline ratings or default weights.

How the score works

Each program is scored across seven dimensions, each weighted 1 by default. The Likert scale per dimension is yea → fine → meh → hell naw (or domain-specific equivalents). Hover any score cell to see the per-dimension breakdown.

Data

383 internship programs scraped from the APPIC directory, enriched with three-year cohort statistics (apps, interview rate, S+C-degree intake), training-opportunity tiers, brochure-extracted theoretical orientation, and program-track ratings.

Baseline: data/leaderboard.json (regenerated from the source repo). Per-user dot edits are stored as sparse deltas in a Postgres table and overlaid on the baseline at load time — so future baseline updates automatically reach any field a user hasn't explicitly overridden.
