genotype Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) 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! Edited January 9, 2015 by genotype Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
