Congrats! I was hoping things would turn out well for you.
-
I was accepted at a few places and had a 3.4. I do think my low GPA was a problem at a couple schools, but most took a very holistic approach to my resume.
-
I was on a high waitlist at Pitt and a low waitlist at VCU. I called Pitt to say I won't need my waitlist spot anymore, so hopefully that moves you up the list if I was ahead of you!

You can definitely call! But it's 5 pm on the east coast so they may or may not respond.
-
I think that usually happens on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to the program directors I spoke to. Michigan actually called me a few minutes ago saying there was no movement yet, but that they'd call me tomorrow morning.
-
VCU told me I was in the lower section of their waitlist. Ah well.
-
They said the same thing to me! It just seems that everyone loves Pitt, so I wonder how many people would turn down their spot.
-
I called them and left a message. Nothing via phone. I'm not too concerned seeing as I'll likely decline an offer from there, but I just wanted to know. Did Pitt tell you that you were high on the waitlist? They told me that, but there are like 4 people just on this forum that have been waitlisted there.
-
I haven't heard from VCU yet. Should I call them? It seems that other people have heard from them.
-
I just said no to my SLC spot so don't give up hope!
-
Waitlisted at Wisconsin. They didn't give me any sort of ranking.
-
I don't know the number specifically, but the area around VCU is pretty affordable for a large city.
-
High waitlist at Michigan. So just have to hear from VCU, Wisconsin, and Northwestern...
-
Just got into Mount Sinai! That was definitely in the top 3 so super excited.

Ah okay, thanks! I'll probably wait to respond but it's good that they make it so easy.
-
What do you do if you get an email about an acceptance? Sarah Lawrence just accepted me but they did so via email.
-
Accepted to Indiana State! So at least I don't have to worry about not getting in anywhere.

Just waitlisted at Pitt. That was probably my number one choice...so yeah. Let's see how it goes.
-
The waiting is killing me! I didn't sleep well at all last night. Best of luck to everyone here, hope I see some of you as classmates and/or colleagues in the future!

Good luck to everyone! I've been freaking out over here. I thought I had my ranking figured out but I'm starting to second-guess everything. We'll see what happens...
-
I got an email from the University of Michigan's genetic counseling program and I nearly jumped out of my skin. But it was just a department newsletter.
-
My ranking changed entirely. My top 2 schools were programs I barely considered before actually going there. I realized how important location was to me. I'm thankful that my partner is happy with long distance, so I can go basically anywhere. I've never had so much freedom before! Also a school I interviewed at that I expected to love just...didn't wow me. It didn't have a lot of what I was looking for even though the name of it was appealing.
-
I definitely feel you here. My top 2 programs are both really pricey. My number three program costs a lot less and would be pretty low in terms of cost of living. But for some reason I just don't think I'd jive as well at my number three program. Of course I'd be happy to just get into a program and I'm sure I'd make the best of things, but if I get into my top 2, it's going to be a really tough call. I've gone the whole route of listing pros and cons but it's not really helping.
-
Now that all my interviews are over, I'm finding myself liking two programs a ton and not being able to pick out a clear number one. I can't rank these places. I have no idea what to do. Hopefully I can figure it out in the next 6 days.
