It sounds like the decision frame used to be 5 days, I'm glad it's down to 3, hopefully it pushes people to make decisions faster. I can see pros and cons to both systems, especially right now when things seem to be pretty locked up

Brandeis!

Thanks! I actually just called them back and accepted the offer! Northwestern Genetic Counseling Class of 2018! 

All the best to other applicants out there! Remember: you have all worked so hard to get to this point, and should be proud of your accomplishments despite what the outcome is. This is an extremely competitive field, but if you stick with it and persevere you'll be successful! I for one, am so proud to be part of such a talented group of individuals, and look forward to the positive contributions each and every one of you will bring to the field!

Congrats on all of the interviews, everyone! I'm excited to hear different opinions on programs/interview recaps over the coming weeks! Only 10-ish weeks until notification day

Any other Genetic Counseling applicants out there applying for Fall 2016? I'm driving myself crazy wondering when I'll hear back from schools for interviews and hoping others are in the same boat?

@geecee92 and @b5b7 I'll be there March 28-29!

Just got mine too! I feel like I can finally let out a sigh of relief! Let me know what days you'll be there?

Wisconsins sending out interviews btw!! Just got mine today! Too excited! 

Today was a good day in my email! I found out I have an interview at both Virginia Commonwealth and University of Texas!

@gcfc1989 Have fun! We'll be there in March but I'll also be interviewing that day, I hope we both have a great end to that week

@gc09621 I'm interviewing at MI Feb. 25-26!

@luckyduck78 I've only heard back from Michigan so far, but they called me around 2pm my time (3pm for them), last year both of my interview offers were made by email, one early in the morning and one in the afternoon, so it really seems to vary. I hope you hear some good news soon!
@b5b7 I applied to both MN and MI, no interview at MN but I'll be in MI the week after you! I also applied to WI, news would be very welcome today! Where else did you apply?

@b5b7 I interviewed there last year, it's a series of individual interviews, but the people you interview with may be different than who others interview with depending on the flow of your schedule, although everyone interviews with the program director. If I'm remembering correctly, the day starts with a general overview of the program with the program director.  It's set up in a block format so everyone's schedules differ a bit, but we all had lunch together with some of the current students, and during my 'break' block the program assistant took me out for some coffee. Everyone there is incredibly friendly and the current students are a great resource for questions!

A little off topic, but I just wanted to say that having so many GC applicants on this board is so awesome. I was looking through all the forums and it seems we are very few and far between, so it's nice to have a place to commiserate on our application processes. Stay awesome, everybody.

Thanks @weilongli1! and congrats @lmorse

I got a call to schedule an interview in Michigan today! Such a relief, I was starting to think I wouldn't get any interviews...
