Any other genetic counseling applicants here?

Hi All,

I'm applying to two genetic counseling programs in my area (I am geographically limited), and I would like to hear from any of you that are thinking of going into the same field.

Here are my stats:

GPA undergrad (biology): 3.5 (Ivy League school)

GPA Master's (biology): 3.6

GPA PhD (genetics): 4.0 (graduating Spring 2015, hopefully!)

GRE:

V: 170 (99th percentile)

Q: 168 (95th percentile)

AW: 5.5 (98th percentile)

I have about eight years of lab research experience and 5 years of teaching experience at a number of levels. I shadowed three genetic counselors, but only for about a week total due to my commitments as a PhD student. I have very limited advocacy experience, which I'm sort of worried about (I did some volunteering organizing a holiday party at a women's shelter for several years).

Any input would be very welcome!

Thanks!
