Match info for this round will be updated sometime in July! Hope everyone is having a happy summer thus far

@JJGC I"m in a similar position! Some of the schools stated their policy on in-progress or planned courses on their website. For the ones that didn't, I reached out to ask them. Most of them were fine with in-progress courses so long as you told them in your app that they were in progress. One school told me I wouldn't be considered without a grade in a biochemistry class. Hope that helps!
-
Exciting! Good luck everyone!
-
Thought about it @taharah but really liked the counseling aspect of being a GC. Is that a path you are thinking of?
-
Sending you all good thoughts as match day approaches!

Happy (almost) new year! Just curious, how do people respond when they ask about your future plans and you say you want to be a genetic counselor? I've had mostly people who don't know what that is, one person who told me that's a perfect job, and one person who told me I was crazy for not doing medical social work.

Asking for a classmate: Any idea how the schools look at applicants with C/D/F grades in prerequisite courses?
-
Decided to not apply this round but I wish everyone good luck. Please come back and tell us about your choices and thoughts!!

There is a GC program in Cardiff? I had no idea! Thanks for passing on the note. I've always wanted to study in the UK!! Does anyone know if there would be any difference in a MS vs a Canadian or English MSc if you want to come back to work in the US?

I hope everyone's Fall is getting off to a nice start! As people plan their apps, I just wanted to include this link: Accredited Programs: http://gceducation.org/Pages/Accredited-Programs.aspx Where are people planning to apply
-
@HilmKayla does that mean they are accepting for this fall (2018) and will graduate in 2020 or won't accept anyone until fall 2020?
-
Very interesting! I did some googling and found https://gmi.ucsf.edu/ucsf-programs/ which mentions a UCSF program but the link is broken...
-
@HilmKayla, that is very disconcerting as CA does not have many programs. What have you heard??
-
Hey all, how big of a role would you say your STEM grades played? Bio/Chem are definitely not my strong points. I know some schools have a 3.0 or B cutoff, but I was just curious. Was anyone accepted this round with a 2.8-3.1 STEM/BCMP gpa?
-
Sending warm wishes to all who are figuring out ranks! Sending warm wishes to those who aren't ranking and will reapply!

Just wanted to add the link for the official rules: https://natmatch.com/gcadmissions/rules.html Good luck in the match all!

Hi all, thank you for answering my questions as I get ready to be you next year! I'm just fishing for information. Has anyone heard anything on the interview trail about the following new programs? UC Davis, UCLA, UCSF, University of Washington, Washington State, or any other west coast schools? (not to disparage the east coast, I love you all but need to be in a certain geographic region for family reasons)
-
Does state/location (not citizenship) play a role in admissions? Am I more likely to get into the schools that I am geographically closer to?
-
Do programs take note if you are a second-time applicant? For example, let's say I complete the required classes for 4 schools and apply but don't get in anywhere. In the meantime, I have completed more classes and now qualify for those 4 schools plus 4 more. Will the initial schools look down on me reapplying? Will the new schools know I'm a second-time applicant?
-
Interesting! I'm still 1-2 years away from applying. I love hearing about potential new programs! I check the accreditation programs page occasionally and UCONN isn't there yet. I've also heard rumors about a UCLA program and a new NY program (can't remember the school). Is a google news alert the best way to keep track? How quickly can a program get up and running? Also, good luck to all current applicants! I'm rooting for you and I hope to work with you in the future!
