AAI Q/A: How do internships evaluate applicants?

When the internship application time comes around we all want tips and examples of what not to do and what to make sure we do. After submitting your application and praying to get matched, here is the “big 3” of what your most evaluated on:

• G.P.A-usually the most important criteria. Try and maintain a 3.5 or better

• Experience-work experience working directly with a dietician, or in the dietetic field will really make your internship stand out

• References-make sure to have solid references who know you good enough to write great letters of recommendation

In addition to the “big 3” make sure your applications are professional, neat, and organized.

Are there any other suggestions of what to have/not have for your application?
