    Genetic Counseling Fall 2018 Applicants

    in Biology

    Posted

    The website is launched and they explain things really clearly. I think we're all nervous due to the fact that we get one answer without any flexibility... I think it's sort of fear of the unknown. Thinking about it, it's true, there are the same amount of slots available for the same amount of applicants. It all just seems very final and I think that's what's causing the nerves.

    It's so confusing! Even if you think you nail the interview, you just never know. At the same time although I was barely considering some options for this year, after getting waitlisted for them I was dying to attend so they all of a sudden became my top choice... It's going to be so confusing.

    I'm nervous for the new match system. I feel like we need to be smart in ranking our programs because although for example Columbia may be my number 1, I may have the least chance of getting accepted. I feel as though this puts more stress on the applicants as walking out of interview days we need to rank our programs wisely. 

    Anyone second this?

    Thank you for the info @Ellaie! How many schools did you apply to last year and how many interviews did you get vs. this year? I know you got accepted at USF, (congrats!) were you accepted elsewhere? Also, I know this will be different for everyone but what was the area you improved on most that you believe ultimately got you a spot? Also, how does the personal statement work the second time around? Do you mend it, or write an entirely new one? 

    Thanks! I hope I'm not being to nosy ?

    @mithila.belekar, welcome! I really all hope we have better luck next year. The new match system is making me nervous - I hope it's really to our benefit.

    To all of you second year applicants, I wonder how letters of recommendation work. Do we get new ones? Extra ones? Can we ask the schools to forward our precious ones onto our new applications? I guess when we reach out for constructive criticism we can ask some of these questions...  

    I just can't believe we all need to go through this grueling process again.

    @GCo.Hopeful I'm going to reach out the program directors as soon as possible because guessing will kill me. I think that's the smartest idea for a second year applicant which I have become as of this morning. @No1992, I'm not handling so well... I feel totally lost - like what do they want from me? I guess just applying again and displaying perseverence and determination is something. I'm trying to take it one day at a time and I'm counting down till I can reach out to them.
