Preselect Process (U of M Students only) for MNT Concentration

The U of M DI Program utilizes the Dietetic Internship Computerized Application System (DICAS) for its Preselect Process to fill up to six of ten slots available in the MNT concentration, giving priority to eligible University of Minnesota Students. For eligibility, the U of M student must have BOTH of the following:

  1. Baccalaureate degree earned or expected from the University of Minnesota and
  2. DPD verification or intent to complete from the University of Minnesota

Required Application Items
For application directions and required materials, see the Preselect MNT Application Checklist.

January 10, 2020 is the deadline for both:
1. Submitting completed application via DICAS, including your completed Preselect MNT Concentration Supplemental Application Form as an uploaded Supplemental document for our program and
2. Paying the $50 (non-refundable) University of Minnesota DI application fee. Details for new payment option process coming soon.

Application Materials
All completed applications will be reviewed. Applications may be rejected for incompleteness or non-compliance with directions. All documents submitted for the application process become the property of the University of Minnesota Dietetic Internship and will not be returned.

Interviews
The U of M DI Intern Selection Committee ranks applications on the basis of all components of the internship application. In addition, the top ranked candidates for the program will be invited for an interview with Program Leadership in January. The interview is an important step in the selection process since it allows the applicant to be well informed about the internship and helps the Selection Committee ensure successful matches of candidates with the program.

All preselect applicants will be contacted via email by January 17, 2020 of interview decision; interview details will be provided to candidates selected to interview. In-person interviews will be conducted January 21 and/or 22, 2020.
