[Genetic Counseling Fall 2018 Applicants]

Anyone know if Pitt will be sending out more interviews this week?  Starting to wonder when/if I'll hear back soon or if I'll be waiting until April...

I'm sure you're much more qualified than you think :).

I know Pitt has a pretty popular and established program for anyone in the midwest/east coast. I feel pretty good about my chances, but it's the only school where I haven't been able to meet the program director face-to-face. So I have no idea. I may actually end up declining an interview offer anyway. I just found out some (good) family news that would make it really hard for us to handle relocating and out-of-state tuition. Good luck!

Thanks for saying that! And I'm glad it was good news for you and your family!

Good luck to you in your interview process -- kick butt!

Same here! I guess we'll be seeing each other for the third time haha! 

edit: submitted my app mid-November.

Yay! Congratulations! I saw your app for Pitt is still pending -- same here. I hope we hear back soon! I'm nervous due to my GRE scores, but hopefully, my grades & experience will make up for it... who knows. How do you feel about your chances Pitt so far? I feel like others' experiences with Pitt has been 50/50

Don't stress yet! I didn't here back until the end of February, beginning of March last year. I think this week last year was when people first started hearing back. Not that that makes the waiting necessarily easier. 

Thanks! Ugh, end of Feb/early March... that's torture haha. I'm not keeping my hopes up too high but the waiting game is nerve-racking. Did you end up getting accepted to Pitt or any other programs last year?

Hello, fellow applicants!

Wondering if any of you have applied to Pitt's GC program?  I, riskily, only applied to Pitt since I am geographically limited and am a homeowner.  Anyway, I wanted to check and see if anyone has heard anything back yet or just want to share some feelings and/or concerns -- I know this is a very stressful time for all of us!  Good luck to you all and I hope we all can achieve our dreams one way or another

By the way, I heard back from Pitt on 1/3 informing me that my application was verified and officially going to be/being reviewed by the committee.

Hi everyone!

I am an applicant for Genetic Counseling at the University of Pittsburgh. My application is officially being reviewed as of a few weeks/a month ago and I'm basically just playing the waiting game. A few stats about me: 26 years old, graduating with a BS in Biology April 2018, 3.34 GPA, 5 years pharmacy experience, GC shadowing experience, bereavement counseling volunteer, research experience, and personal GC experience. I only applied to UPitt -- kind of scary, but hoping for the best.

Anyone else applying to GC programs for Fall 2018?
