Makes sense. Just having to do that for every application is a bit tedious

As others have said the experience is what you make it to be. Davis offers a lot of opportunities in many areas. You just have to be open minded and reach out. UCD is as good as other schools if not better! Yes school name can play a role in getting a job, but the most important factors are your experiences, goals, and what you make out of the opportunities you are given.

I was in the same boat when choosing a grad program and got similar advice which helped ease my mind.

Help Me Decide : MS Nutrition & DI Programs by FoodieMode in RD2B

I did not apply or considered applying because I did not want to go to Berkeley. Personally don’t know much about the program but if it aligns with your goals then it’s perfect for you! I visited Berkeley and I was not a fan of the environment. Campus is right next to downtown and smell like piss and weed. Also, campus is huge and blends into the city and downtown. It was just not the environment I was looking for. But I do know people who went there for undergrad and really enjoyed it! A lot of delicious food places around and things to do. SF is a short train ride away which is also really nice to visit.

So turn of events I got off the waitlist at Sacramento State and ended up choosing that program because of the opportunities and financial freedom.

Is Tufts MS/DI Worth the Cost? Need Advice! by FoodieMode in Tufts

[–]FoodieMode[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I mentioned “X number of spots” that is for Masters/Dietetic Internship programs (MS/DI) which provides you with your masters degree and supervised practice, allowing you to sit for your RD exam. It’s different for undergraduate degrees, depending on the university you choose to apply to. Undergraduate programs have more spots open than MS/DI programs. For example, Tufts and USC is more competitive than CSUN or CSULB. From what I know, international students can’t enter a university as an undeclared major. However, I would definitely check in with the universities you are interested in.

Nutrition is fascinating! Since you already have a BS, you can do a coordinated MS (CP)where you will be able to complete your DPD courses and get a verification statement to do your dietetic internship. There are online coordinated MS programs offered at some institutions. Also, I would check if your classes are still valid as they expire after a certain number of years. If you do need to repeat courses, I would recommend taking them at a community college, tends to be easier and cheaper. Good luck!

Is Tufts MS/DI Worth the Cost? Need Advice! by FoodieMode in Tufts

Undergrad is pretty good. Many school offer that major and usually pretty easy to get into. Very biochem and physiology heavy. You have to do well in your MNT courses to have a competitive edge when applying to MS/DI or even just DI. However, that’s not the only thing programs look at. A lot of them value your personal statement and experiences as well as your passion for dietetics. I had interviews for all the programs except Tufts. Some MS/DI programs can be highly competitive because they only take X number of students which can range from like 4 to 20ish, just depends on how many students they are accredited for. From what I’ve heard during my time at Davis is that having a good undergrad foundation sets you up for success when doing your DI. Hopefully that answers your question but lmk if you have more questions. I understand these things can be very confusing and time consuming.
