  1. Hello, there! I'm an "older" applicant, so I thought I'd chime in here. I applied to 4 schools and got interviews at 3. I would say in all my interviews, GCs and program directors seemed really positive about the experience I've had. I think it depends on what you've done in your time in between undergrad and now, but if you have a cohesive "story" about how your experiences have led you to Genetic Counseling, it can be seen as a favorable thing at any program. Another thing all program directors openly say they are looking for is maturity. Not that age always = maturity, but I think having had some life experiences can add to your sense of maturity during an interview. So in general, I would say most people view it as a positive. There's only one program I researched that called out on their website the extra time in between undergrad and applying as a positive, but I don't remember which program that was (sorry!). Overall, though, I never got the impression that there were certain programs that valued it over others. Hope that helps!
