Probably good to apply to 5 or 6 internships/AP4 programs.

I, Dr. Kelley, have the D&D computer matching forms.

GRE: some internships require, others not:  www.gre.org

Dietetic Internship Application Form: there is a "standardized' form at www.depdpg.org (not all internships use this form, though most probably will)
Additional application materials may be needed, such as a resume, biography/essay, questions to answer

Completing the application

• Read instructions for each internship carefully
• Items to include
• Interview component? If there is an interview is it face-to-face or telephone?

• Graduated— get verification statement
• Not graduated—get declaration of intent; states what course still need to be completed to meet ADA/graduation requirements; after graduation, you will need a verification statement.  You should provide an address at which you can be reached following graduation to the didactic director.
• Provided to you by the didactic director (D.Kelley)

Tips sheet located in resource room—use it---provides an example of the standardized application prepared by a practice group of The American Dietetic Association

• The standardized ADA application is used by most, but not all internship programs
• May not put every course ever taken on application
• Enter courses in chronological order (oldest first)
• To add lines (Table, add row)
• To delete lines (Table, select row, Table, delete row)
• Be sure to keep page numbers on pages

• Read instructions for each internship carefully
• Advisor, didactic director (DPD), instructor, work reference—RD?

• Work experience: when/how long, duties
• Extracurricular activities; leadership positions
• If teacher: what courses and grades in those course
• Potentially relevant/unique aspects about the internships applying to (e.g., research hospital; pediatric rotation, etc.)
• Any other information that might be relevant (e.g., career goals)
• People writing recommendations need a signed waiver for each recommendation

• Which one is it?
• Letter of application = formal letter in business format
• If not asked to write "letter of application" must do essay/biography AND a brief cover letter
• Avoid excessive use of pronouns/words referring to self (I, me, my)
• Short-term goals: 2-5 years
• Long-term goals 5-10+ years

• If attended multiple universities/colleges will need to request transcripts from all
• From WKU – request that any transcript given to you be in a sealed enveleop ( these are official transcripts but do have "issued to student" on the transcript)
• Sent with other application materials (probably) or directly to internship
