I have an interview from my alma mater (Oklahoma)!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
-
Yep, got the email yesterday.
-
@AspiringGC Sorry to hear that It hurts!
-
Thank you!! Jeez. I could post questions if I had any idea!! I'm exceptionally underprepared; I haven't had to do an interview in a professional or educational setting in yeeeears. No one's heard from Oklahoma, yeah? Been scanning the thread and haven't seen anything.
-
They sent an email. Also, I can't for the life of me remember how to edit my signature lol. Anyone?
-
Aaaand rejected from OH State. That one hurts because I'm sure it's because of my rec not going in.
-
I have an interview with IUPUI!!!! They emailed me today!! I just woke up from a nap and saw it. Wide awake now!
-
Yeah, that's what they were supposed to do when they contacted me. I just emailed again to ask if he can initiate the email, since I don't know if he's not receiving them or what. We'll see.

Same, though Ohio State let me know my prof STILL hadn't submitted a rec 10 days ago... after he told me he submitted it twice. I'm trying to coordinate with him from two states away and they said they'd email him directly but the website says it's still not in... I'm freaking out!

Hey, thanks for this! Really appreciate it. I've been doing research on the field since high school and watched all the mock sessions, read up on processes, and I met with each of the counselors for about an hour asking the ins and outs. I feel pretty comfortable with the ethics portion as well - my practicum in undergrad was clinical and my sister is a counseling PhD student. But I still feel like I need more, so I will definitely check out the resources you recommended!! I really love reading more about the field any chance I get. I mentioned in my personal statement my particular interest in psychiatric genetic counseling so hoping that helps out. If I get interview requests (pls jesussss) I will definitely be doing research before I head out for those. I came across the 22 guidelines for GCs or whatever it's called and looked over that.

Do you mind sharing your stats? Also, I thought about Northwestern but it's just not accessible financially for me right now. I love Chicago though, hope it's a blast!

Hi all. Freaking out. Wanted to do this since I was about 17 and got away from it due to a bad chem prof freshman year. Six years later... Undergrad: Bachelor's of Arts in Psychology, 3.81/4.0. Taking prereqs at local university while working and it's dropped my GPA to a 3.72. Thought about getting a second bachelor's so took quite a few science courses, including genetics, genetics lab + immunobiology. GRE: 161 / 161 / 5. (79% quant, 88% verbal, 93% analytical) Extracurriculars: Genetic counselors don't allow shadowing in my city but I did meet with two. I did 200 hours of community service in college and have volunteered since April 2015 as a clinic escort. No research - by far this is the weakest part of my app. Applying to Ohio State, Oklahoma, Indiana and UT-Houston. Good luck all!
