Got rejected from UAB yesterday. Got it in the snail mail, which is almost insulting. I'm really sad about that one because it was my one shot to not have to live long distance from my boyfriend of almost 3 years. Do you ever feel like you're just not cut out for grad school? It's my second year of rejections. Not trying to be depressing, just realistic.

Still waiting to hear from 5 schools. Got rejections from 2. This is my second year applying, and if I don't get in I'm probably just going to teach high school biology and see if that pays the bills.

I still haven't gotten any interview offers. For those of you who have gotten interviews, do you get notified by phone or email, and generally at what time of day (morning, afternoon)?

Hi everyone! I'm new to the thread, but I wanted to jump in. This is the first time I've applied to genetic counseling programs. 3.3 Undergrad GPA 151/156/4.0 GRE Sub-I with a genetic counselor on a genotyping research study, work in a sub specialty hematology clinics (peds and adults), advocacy work for disabled children, 1 publication, 1 meeting presentation, 3 abstracts. LOTS of undergrad cell bio & genetics research. Excellent recommendations, one from a genetic counselor. I applied to 7 programs, and already gotten a rejection from Emory Waiting to hear from University of South Carolina, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Virginia Commonwealth, University of Maryland, University of Cincinnati, and University of Utah. I know my stats aren't that great, but I'm hoping my experience and good letters of rec will make up for that. Haven't heard back from any other schools, and I'm checking my email pretty much ever 5 minutes.
