I am so so soooo close to having my DICAS internship application completely finished. Yesterday my DPD director completed my verification statement, I mailed the checks to cover the extra fees that 3 of my designations required (R.I.P to my bank account this month...), and finalized the sessions & coursework section. One pesky little thing remains and that is my 4th and final recommendation letter. Technically I could get by with the three that I have but the 4th person I asked is a professor that I got very close with in my last semester & also I killed it in both of her super challenging classes so I figured I'd get a pretty stellar letter from her. I know she is a very busy woman so I waited as long as I could before even thinking about sending her a friendly 'reminder' e-mail about my recommendation letter. For those of you out there like me that feel like you need to send who ever you asked for a letter a little nudge to get your application complete, here's what I wrote based on the guidance from All Access Internships (they wrote about this on an instagram post -- btw follow them on EVERYTHING if you are applying for a dietetic internship, they are incredible helpful):
"Thank you again for agreeing to be a reference for me for this upcoming Spring match! I can't believe how fast the time has gone and how quickly submit date of February 15th is already approaching. With that said, I was wondering if you had an idea of when you planned to complete the reference? Again, I cannot say thank you enough for agreeing to write a letter for me as I know this is an incredibly busy time for you. I look forward to hearing from you & wish you well for the rest of the Spring semester!"
