I'm getting so stressed I know exactly how you feel. I've only got Sarah Lawrence, USF, and Rutgers left to get interviews from. I'm slowly losing hope. Although I do know Rutgers was reviewing my application yesterday, they sent me an email asking about one of my transcripts. But both Sarah Lawrence and Rutgers are closed today because of the snow storm so at least I'll be a little less anxious today knowing that I can't get any denials from them at the moment.

At this point I'd take even one no, just to know they even looked at my application. 14 minutes ago, KeepSwimming2017 said: I know exactly how you feel.

I'm still waiting to hear from all 8 I applied to! However, seeing as Denver has sent interviews out, I am kind of writing them off the list.. But everyone else, I'm still just twiddling my thumbs waiting. It's nerve wracking! At least still being in school forces me to not focus on it as much as I'd like with homework and readings, but still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming I will be rejected from Virginia considering everyone seems to have heard from them. But I am still waiting on Bay Path, Thomas Jefferson, Arcadia, University of South Carolina, and University of South Florida. Thomas Jefferson has a really late deadline this year and said people will hear back by March 18th (so far away!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BU has a snow day today as well, so we're not going to hear from them today, either. Does anyone have an idea of the volume of applications school received this year? I've heard it's been a record year, but I'm curious what that means, number-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey all, congratulations on interviews and being so strong with the waiting game. Robyn94, I hope you do amazing on your interviews. I am also applying to Canadian schools and have applied to UBC- I am wondering, since they sent out invitations Feb 3rd, do you know if they have sent all invitations out/all slots are filled?

I just applied to 3 jobs (for after graduation if I don't get in lol) in my stress, so at least it was productive? Oh wow! March 18th is super far away but with it being so new it makes sense! Augustana last year sent invites out around that time since they were a new program as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Thank you so much @No1992! I just checked the sign-up page (it's an anonymous doodle poll), and it looks like 25 people have signed up so far. On UBC's website, it does say they usually invite between 25-30 applicants for interviews. It also says that the deadline to sign up for an interview time is tomorrow, so I don't know if they will still be sending out invitations.

GCHopeful Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I am not sure if this has been asked on this thread before, but are there any suggested readings I should be on the lookout for? I am currently reading "Ethical Dilemmas in Genetics and Genetic Counseling" and would love to read more from other sources prior to interviewing.

robyn94 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 @adragonisnoslave Congrats on your interview offer! And I'm sorry to hear about OH State. To edit your signature, go to the top right of the screen to the drop down menu beside your name. Then select "Account Settings." Hope that helps! It took me longer than I'd like to admit to figure it out haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AspiringGC Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 In the results tab it also shows that waitlists for interviews were sent out today by Stanford I didn't have full hope I'd get in, but still... Of course they could still send out more emails but I doubt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCFaith92 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 We should help each other out, whether you have been interviewed yet or not, and post some good practice interview questions! I will be doing a mock interview with 3 genetic counselors next week, and will provide those questions we practice with next week!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
