The University of Houston Dietetic Internship participates in the pre-select option to computer matching for students receiving verification statements from UH DPD.

 

In the pre-selection process, the program will select students who have met the admission requirements for the DI. September 15th is the postmark deadline for applications. The applicant will be notified on or before Sept 20th confirming his/her acceptance status in the program.

 

If pre-selected, the applicant's name and social security number are submitted to D&D Digital Systems, Inc. to ensure that the applicant will not participate in the computer match. If the applicant is not selected through the pre-select process, he/she may apply to any DI including UHDI through the computer matching process.
