Include how your background and prior training make you a good candidate; why Florida State University is a good fit for you. You must state whether you wish to pursue the Food Science specialization, Nutrition Science specialization, or the Nutrition Education and Health Promotion specialization. If also initially applying to the dietetic internship (see notes below), please state this clearly. We strongly encourage applicants to familiarize themselves with the research interests of the faculty in their area of specialization. In the statement, please indicate your top choices of faculty members with whom you would like to work. GPA An upper-division undergraduate GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. The same scale applies for graduate-level work. CV Upload a resume or vita (information should be current). Fee Apply Online and pay the application fee. RL Upload contact information for three recommenders. The recommenders should be professionals you have worked with who are familiar with your academic performance and can speak directly about your qualification for this degree. Academic recommendations are preferred, but relevant professional recommendations will be accepted. No personal recommendations or letters from peers will be accepted. Transcript Submit official transcripts (with translations if necessary) to the FSU Office of Admissions. We require transcripts from EVERY post-secondary institution you attended (even if those courses are posted to another institution’s transcript).
