@TK1616 did you feel like the article was a quiz of some sort when discussing it? I only assumed we would have 10 people because on the doodle pole it said there were 29 interviewees so I figured it was about 10 each day :-) I have to prepare some questions for my interviewers! I always feel like I don't have enough because they answer all my questions during the information sessions!
-
Has anyone interviewed with Jefferson yet? I believe theres like 10 of us that day and im wondering if interviews are individual or group ?
-
I'm in south Jersey so i'm literally a 10 minute train ride away from the school :-)
-
@minja134 yes! I just got it as well!!! Where are you traveling from?
-
@minja134 @Elisheva hopefully we get information ASAP. This isn't making for a good first impression on their part :-) I know they're interviewing us but we are also interviewing them.
-
For those who are interviewing with Jefferson tomorrow, were you given any details? I go next Friday the 7th, but have not received a schedule or address for the building we will be in. Thanks!
-
Received my interview with Jefferson!!
-
Hey all!! My first interview is tomorrow. About how many questions do you think each interviewers asked you and did you feel pressed for time in answering them? Also, how many questions did you have prepared for the interviewers? I have a list of questions in my portfolio but want to be certain I have enough questions haha Thanks!!!
-
So is it that we will all know on the 24th is we are accepted/rejected/waitlisted? And than we have until the 26th to accept/decline? Or is it that we may not know until the 25th or 26th? I am just a little confused if all the schools get back to us on the 24th
-
I must check my email 3x an hour to see when Thomas Jefferson will get back to us! Ahhhhg
-
For those of you who have interviewed already, what types of questions did you ask your interviewers considering we are told to have questions prepared for our interviewers.
-
OMG good I am glad I was not the only one! And Thank you for telling me you called. I spoke to Zohra in email last month and she said they would get back to applicants by the 17th so I have had terrible anxiety. I thought their first interview was within the next 2 weeks though?
-
Anyone who applied to Jefferson, did you actually have a genetic counselor write you a LOR? I know they stated that a counselor should write one of your letters but I did not feel I spend enough time with a particular counselor to have one write in depth letter on my behalf. Anyone else in my shoes with this ? I had my employer (a Dr) my genetics professor and my chemistry professor write letters.
-
@mithila.belekar @rekadora I think they gave out all interviews at this point :-( 1 of their interview dates passed already and the next one is the 27th
-
@Joey0817 Go for it. If you want to truly be a genetic counselor, the competition should not hold you back. We go into this field knowing how competitive it is and knowing that many counselors take 2 to 3 years to even get in due to the limited number of programs and spots for students. Sounds like you are qualified, but if it's something you are unsure of doing I recommend taking a year off before applying, that way you can continue to build your resume, seek other options and not spend so much on applications if you aren't sure.
-
Yea. Well when I emailed them they had said all applicants will hear by the 17th so I thought maybe they'd start reaching out to people as they got applications in. But yeah if I wasn't impatient I'd assume maybe tomorrow and Friday ahaha
-
I am still impatiently awaiting information from Thomas Jefferson. They said by the 17th. I wonder if they are contacting everyone on that day or up to that day. AHHH the wait is awful
-
They actually emailed me the other day saying they were reviewing my application. I see the webinar, going to watch it when I eat lunch! Thanks so much! I live about 15 minutes from Jefferson, in South Jersey right outside of Philadelphia and my sister attended Jefferson, so I am hoping to at least get an interview there! Fingers crossed for us both!
-
Sadl,y I could not. I work crazy hours (Monday through Friday 8-8 :-( ) so I couldn't. I just get online when ever its slow at the office. I hope its up I am going to take a look, thank you for mentioning it!
-
So anxiously waiting to hear from Jefferson! It's my last school to hear from! Ahhhh... Well USF Also but it seems like they gave out their interviews already
-
@minja134 Thank you so much. I thought we had to call them back the day they called us and give an answer!
-
Okay so I need to know If anyone knows how this works Say I interview with 2 or 3 schools and I know I really want to go to 1 of them. Come April 24th say I hear from another school first that I am offered a position but I really want 1 of the other schools I interviewed with.... I obviously don't want to reject, because I do not want to give up a chance of going to a program. So what do we do. If we tell them we'd like to go but waiting on 1 other school first, would the reject me? Thanks!!
-
Mine was misleading as well so I guess we got the same one :-(

Unfortunately I did not get an interview there but I did come to visit in the summer. The Sheradon was a great hotel! About 15 minutes way at most. At first I went to a motel across the road from Sheradon, call the "Baymont inn" as the reviews weren't bad. And once we arrived at the motel, there was a lady nodding out outside of the hotel (on drugs of course) and followed us into the hotel registration area. The staff knew her and allow her to hangout in there, and not once tried to get her away from us as she tried to hug both my boyfriend and I and kept babbling to us. It was very uncomfortable and we left despite having reservations, and spent an extra 150 to get away from that place. I also had to fight to get refunded from them, despite the situation we were in . So with that being said be careful of the motels in the area and avoid Baymont inn at all cost!!

I just got email confirmation that I have an interview with BayPath! Only waiting on Jefferson now!
