Episode 16: Let’s Talk GPA
IN THIS EPISODE
Who knew that a small handful of numbers – your DPD GPAs – might be the source of so many questions when it comes to your dietetic internship application? Like all parts of your application, this is important. Your GPA is something programs will be looking at and comparing to criteria as they review your application.
In this episode, we’re talking about how your GPA might be considered as a part of the whole. I’m sharing my director’s perspective about how you can get ahead of the game with your GPA if you have any concerns
1. Is the focus on GPA warranted? (spoiler alert: Nicole gets on a soapbox…)
2. Do I have to talk about my GPA in my personal statement?
3. If I have a 4.0 GPA, what else do I need?
YOUR ACTION STEP
Check out the links in the show notes. Get the Application Insider DPD GPA Calculator (for free!) to make sure you know your GPA, even before you enter all your grades and coursework into DICAS. Then, if you have concerns, start a conversation with directors to get their input on how you can best prepare a stand out application to send their way.
