Here are some of the things we cover in this episode:

Then, if you liked that guidance, and want help with all the other questions, check out the link in the show notes to see if the Personal Statement Workshop will be a good fit for you.

IN THIS EPISODE
So many students have questions about what it’s like to apply to, or be in, one dietetics program or another. I see these questions posted in online groups all the time. And it makes sense! Hearing from someone who is right now where you want to be, an intern in a program you might apply to, is a great way to gain perspective and insight.
But as I saw these posts, I started wondering, “What if there was a central location students could access to hear about other students’ and interns’ experiences?” Why does everyone looking for this information have to create their own social media post??
And thus, the Program Review Database was born!
Here are some of the things we cover in this episode:
1. How you can access the Program Review Database
2. The information you can get in the Database to learn about programs
3. What you can do to make the Database an even better resource for dietetics students
YOUR ACTION STEP
Check out the Program Review Database for yourself! Learn about programs from other dietetics students and get their perspective about the interactions they’ve had. Then, bookmark the survey so you can share your own insights about your experience applying to or going through a program yourself. The only way this database can get better is with your contributions!
With this Insider insight, your application is sure to stand out!

Episode 56: Interview with Tammy Keighran
IN THIS EPISODE
My guest today is Tammy Keighran. Tammy is in the middle of working on her application, and getting ready to apply in the Spring 2022 Match. She is sharing the path of “bread crumbs” she’s following that has led her to this perfectly fitting career. I know so many other students have their own meandering journeys that have brought them to dietetics!
Tammy has some great insights to share from the progress she has made on her application so far. She happens to be in the current session of Master Your Match, and is getting insider guidance every week to help her with the application. She also talks about the considerations she has had to account for when looking for the right programs, and fitting in the time to work on her application.
Here are some of the things we cover in this episode:
1. Tammy’s background and path of breadcrumbs she has followed here
2. What it’s been like to go through the Master Your Match live course
3. Tammy’s advice for other students who are also working on their applications right now.
YOUR ACTION STEP
Ask the questions, get the help, and do the research early. Procrastination happens, but that’s really just thinking you can’t do it. Embrace the struggle! Work on it a little bit at a time. If it overwhelms you, just do one small thing that moves you toward your goal. Just do the thing, do it overwhelmed or do it scared. You’ll be so glad you did!
Thank you for sharing your experience, Tammy!

Episode 54: Interview with Ruby Sultan
IN THIS EPISODE
My guest today is Ruby Sultan. Ruby is currently just a few weeks out from finishing her internship, which is an ISPP program. Ruby landed this spot because of an open mind and flexibility when her match results were not what she expected. But it’s been a great experience for her, truly a good fit.

Be prepared and have an open mind. You might have the idea that you’ll be going in one direction, but things can change. Nothing’s really stagnant. Being open minded to change and to be prepared and ready for it, can create a positive mindset for anything that comes your way.

IN THIS EPISODE
There are two parts of the application that focus on the experience you have gained thus far in your dietetics journey. The first is your resume, of course, and the second is the section calls “Awards, Experience, and Volunteer Activities.” In both of these areas, you want to make sure you prove that the experience you document really deserves to be there. Let’s talk about how you can do that.
Here are some of the topics covered in this episode:
1. How to make it clear why a position is on your application in the first place
2. Which word to avoid because it usually does say what you want it to
3. Elements to add to pack a punch in your descriptions
YOUR ACTION STEP
Begin thinking about your experience, even if you haven’t set up your DICAS account or will be typing it directly into your application just yet. Jot down the experience you have at this point, both paid and volunteer. Take the time you have to make sure you’ve thought through everything your role did or does entail, and how you can describe it so it’s clear, highlights your skills that will transfer to dietetics, and uses those key words that state exactly what you did, avoiding the word “assist” and using quantifiers wherever you can.

Here are three important categories of things from Application Insider, specifically so you can be ready for a few things that are coming up. All the links are in the show notes, so please follow them to take advantage of what’s available!
Student Interviews
These have been such a success this summer. I have really loved how they’ve turned out. Each student I’ve had on the podcast had shared great tips and had a unique perspective about the application process.
The last scheduled student interview is next week. It will be episode #47. So this is my invitation to you to share your experience on the podcast! If you’d like your own episode here on the Podcast, and the chance to share your tips with someone else who can definitely benefit from them, go to https://applicationinsider.co/podcastguest to let me know you’re interested.
Here’s a round-up of the student interviews that have aired so far, with direct links to each in the show notes:
· #35: Jenny Fernandez – who networked her way to connections that helped her create a great application
· #37: Sarah Barragan – who prepped her entire application in just 6 weeks and matched to her top choice program
· #38: Krista Semonelle – who used ONLY free resources from Application Insider, along with her own notebook trick to submit a stand-out application
· #41: Helory Kojongian – whose system to check and double check each application section helped her apply early and get a great match
· #43: Annie Robison – who knew exactly what type of program she was looking for, and found it
· #45: Jeniffer Peeples – who got her perfect match in second round
And, coming next week, Episode #47, another student interview about someone who found an awesome match in Spring 2021!
DI Director Interviews
Before I started chatting with students, I was having conversations with DI directors. These are also a wealth of information for students, about programs, directly from the program director.After all of the student interviews have aired will be the next DI director interview. So, coming in Episode #48, you’ll get to hear from a program that actually reached out to me to share what their program has to offer.
I would love to know which programs you want to hear fromPlease let me know by sending me an email to [email protected] or a DM on Instagram @applicationinsider. I will reach out to them and try to get them on the Podcast!
In the meantime, here’s a round-up of the DI Director interviews that you can listen to now:
· #10: North Oaks Medical Center – with director Leslie Ballard
· #14: Vanderbilt University Medical Center – with director Dianne Killebrew, and an intern who used some Application Insider resources
· #15: Wellness Workdays – with director Debra Wein
· #17: Montana Dietetic Internship – with director Coleen Kaiser, along with two assistant directors, and an intern
And, coming in two weeks, Episode #48 will be a conversation with a program that will be taking application in the Fall 2021 Match, and is very popular for students interested in the business side of dietetics.

Episode 45: Interview with Jeniffer Peeples
IN THIS EPISODE
My guest today is Jeniffer Peeples. Jeniffer has so many elements to her dietetic internship application experience that I think many other students can relate to: she’s a non-traditional student; she knew for certain whether a face-to-face or distance program would be the best fit for her; she’s a military spouse; and she found herself in a whole new city and area when she starting looking into internship options. Oh, and she got her *perfect* match in 2nd round of Spring 2021. She truly has a story about how everything worked out!
Jeniffer’s experience really shows that with a certainty of what you’re looking for and being open to ALL options, things can work out in very unexpected ways. I’m so glad she’s sharing and that you can use her tips in your application process as well. Everything we talk about can be found in the show notes, so check there to make sure you’ve got all the resources that are available.
Here are some of the things we cover in this episode:
1. The elements that Jeniffer knew were very important to her for her internship
2. How Jeniffer found programs to apply to given her criteria, being a military spouse, and living in a brand new area
3. How Jeniffer navigated second round when she decided it was worth going fort rather than waiting another year - and got a perfect match
YOUR ACTION STEP
Research your programs! Research the location, the costs, and the time dedication. Make yourself aware of all the possibilities that are out there and which ones will be best for you.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Jeniffer!

Episode 43: Interview with Annie Robison
IN THIS EPISODE
My guest today is Annie Robison. One of the things you will hear right off the bat is how intention Annie was about the programs she applied to. She knew exactly what kind of internship she wanted, that she could see herself in, and that she knew would align with her own dietetics career goals. And she went for it! You’ll hear all the elements she was looking for, and which programs met her criteria, as well as the program where she will soon be starting her rotations.
We also talked about how she went successfully and progressively through her DICAS application. She’s got tips to share with you about making it a more positive experience, and where to find help so the whole thing is hopefully less stressful overall. She shares some of the specific resources that helped her move forward with confidence on her application. Everything we talk about can be found in the show notes, so check there to make sure you’ve got all the resources that are available.

YOUR ACTION STEP
Convince directors you are a good fit for them. If you have a program in mind, take some time to research it thoroughly and note the things that make them unique for you. If you don’t have a program in mind, take this as your sign to begin searching -- some great tools to help in this process are the AND directory, the FNCE Supervised Practice Fair, and virtual open houses.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Annie!

IN THIS EPISODE
In today’s episode I’m talking about preceptors, and a lot of what goes into finding preceptors. I think this is a really important topic for several reasons. Obviously, preceptors are a necessity for dietetic internships, whether they are organized by students or programs. We cannot have internships without preceptors. There also has been a pretty big increase in the number of distance internship programs, which are most likely to require students to find and arrange their own preceptors. Finally, finding preceptors is a big task to add to an already pretty big application and internship experience. Ideally, resources and guidance are available for students who choose that route.
Here are some of the perspectives covered in this episode:
1. Preceptors/Facilities have their clients’/patients’ best interests in mind
2. DI Directors/Programs ideally provide support to both applicants/interns and preceptors
3. Students/Interns can get information about what to expect in their preceptor search
YOUR ACTION STEP
If you are pre-application, do your program research. Really look into your options and run the pros and cons lists of both distance and face-to-face programs. Whatever your choice, dive deep into what they offer. Ask those questions if you do have to find preceptors: find out how the programs supports both students looking for preceptors, and preceptors themselves.
Also, please let me know about your preceptor finding experience. Literally any details you have to share, I want to hear. That is the best way for me understand the situation students are going through, and potentially how to address those gaps to make them easier to navigate.
With this Insider insight, your application is sure to stand out!

Episode 41: Interview with Helory Kojongian
IN THIS EPISODE
My guest today is Helory Kojongian. While we were talking we discovered that we share a love of checklists, and Helory created and used checklists the entire time she was working on her application. One thing that really impressed me about Helory’s approach to going through DICAS is that she was very intentional about each section. You’ll hear how carefully she thought about who to ask as references, and the information she got from directors to make sure she created the application they wanted to see.
Helory also used several Application Insider freebies, which is awesome. She shares some of the specific blog posts and podcast episodes that helped her move forward with confidence on her application. Everything we talk about can be found in the show notes, so check there to make sure you’ve got all the resources that are available.
Here are some of the things we cover in this episode:
1. Important program elements that helped Helory ultimately decide where to apply
2. How Helory used a checklist for many application sections, and timed things just right to be able to hit submit a few days before the deadline
3. How asking directors questions gave Helory insight on how to highlight certain elements in her own experience and how they prepared her for her internship
YOUR ACTION STEP
Focus on the end goal. Don’t be discouraged if those around you are moving faster or have more on their resume. Everyone has a unique journey, so look forward to it, and utilize the resources around you.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Helory!

In today’s episode I’m sharing insider success stories. Application Insider has been around since 2019, and the number of students I’ve worked with in each match has increased dramatically in each match period since then. In the Spring 2021 Match, I worked with the most students I’ve ever worked with, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to see their progress on their applications, and to hear about their matches.
It’s important to hear what has worked for someone else to evaluate if it might also work for you. It’s also encouraging to hear about people who have already accomplished what you yourself are trying to achieve.
Here are some of the topics covered in this episode:
1. Application Insider guidance that were a good fit for these students in the Spring 2021 Match
2. The value of these guidance options from the perspective of students who used them and matched!
3. How you can take advantage of this guidance for yourself – whatever your budget is
YOUR ACTION STEP
Believe in your goal. Believe in what you want to do with your time and your talents. Do what it takes to make it happen. Invest in yourself and what you are working for. Take advantage of any opportunity to get the help, support, or guidance that you need. You heard these students share about a variety of resources they used – there was a good fit for each one of them, even if it looked different than what was a good fit for someone else. Make sure that you do all you can to find the good fit for you.
