Application Process Overview
Are you a student or graduate of one of our Priority Partner Universities?
KADDI priority partners are universities whose current or recent graduates are eligible for priority in application review.
Priority review means applications submitted by students/graduates of these Universities will be considered earlier and decisions made prior to the typical match schedule (dates/timeline below). Admission to KADDI is not guaranteed on this basis.
Applications will be considered and decisions made as early as 9/15 (January/Winter start) or 1/15 (August/Summer start). Students may accept immediately or wait until the regular match cycle dates to enroll with KADDI.
Some, but not all, of these universities are MS/DI option partners. Kansas State University and Texas Tech University are not MS/DI partners.
KADDI is proud to be priority partners with the following University programs:
-
Texas Tech University

I truly enjoyed my time as a dietetic intern with KADDI. Throughout each rotation, I was able to grow more confident in my skills as a future RDN. The staff and preceptors were always supportive and willing to answer any questions or talk through challenges, which made a big difference in my learning experience. One of my favorite parts of the program was being able to choose my rotations. That flexibility allowed me to focus on areas that were interesting to me & helped fine-tune my experience to align with my career goals. The resources KADDI provided were also extremely helpful, especially while preparing for the RD exam. The exam prep materials made me feel prepared and confident, and I’m grateful to have passed on my first attempt. Overall, I feel that KADDI truly prepared me for my first role as a RDN. I left the program feeling confident, capable, and ready to step into my career.
