What factors are considered for acceptance into dietetic internships?
Dietetic internships base their acceptance on a variety of factors including grades, work or volunteer experience in the field of dietetics, letters of recommendation, a personal statement, and an interview. It is recommended that you have an overall GPA and major GPA of at least a 3.3 along with significant work and/or volunteer experience in the field including some hospital experience in order to be accepted into a dietetic internship. Students with a slightly lower GPA may be accepted with extremely strong work or volunteer experience and strong letters of recommendation. When you are researching where to apply, each internship will provide you with their criteria for acceptance and this may be one factor that you use in deciding where to apply.
