Today I met with the program director for the dietetics program. It was a very insightful meeting but unfortunately not in a good way. She suggested that I seriously consider not applying for internships in February.
I don't have a stellar GPA, but it is by no means horrible. The way my director put it is that my GPA is below the average GPA of students currently in the internships that I want to apply to. That means I will lose a lot of "points" in the GPA portion of the application and that I can't afford to lose points elsewhere. While I have a lot of hours of work experience, not all of my experience is related to dietetics and therefore not as high quality.
I won't make a decision about what to do until I attend all of the open houses I have planned to visit. I'll probably wait to see how I do on the GRE too... so no decisions will be made until the end of January. Which means I need to prepare great appications and be ready to apply in case I decide to go ahead and try. I think that I will ultimately decide to appy to internships this February, but... we'll see I guess.
