All applicants to Dietetic Internships (DI) and most Preprofessional Practice Programs (AP4) must participate in computer matching. Applicants should request instructions and a mark/sense card to prioritize their DI or AP4 preferences. Applicants should request this material from any ADA-approved Didactic Program in Dietetics or from D & D Digital Systems. This request should be made to allow turnaround time for submitting by a February 17, 2009 postmark deadline. There is no charge for this material. However, there is a $50 charge for computer matching that is due with the applicant's prioritized ranking.
