Genetic Counseling Fall 2017 Applicants

[Ultrapeaches]

Got an email from Brandeis placing me on the waitlist. They are not my first choice so I'm not heartbroken, but the fear that I won't get in anywhere is growing.

[Ultrapeaches]

And out right rejected by Emory! Also an email They *were* my first choice. Ouch.

[Gadgette]

@adragonisnoslave, that made me laugh! Hopefully today will prove less stressful.

That's rough, hang in there, fingers crossed for better outcomes from your remaining programs!

Same boat for Brandeis. Sorry about Emory

Just waitlisted at Pitt. That was probably my number one choice...so yeah. Let's see how it goes.

I got accepted to USF!!! I can't believe this is happening right now.  I didn't accept yet because I want to hear from other schools first and think about it, but I'm leaning towards accepting.  I'm just so shocked.  Second time applying and I get outright accepted to my top program.

That's awesome!! Congratulations!! <3 I'm sure that gives you a lot of relief going through today!

Rejected from Oklahoma, which was (I felt) my only shot, as I didn't vibe well with Indiana. 

Well this sucks.

[GCFaith92]

Keep in mind all, waitlisted is great! It means they want you! They just can't out-right accept everyone they want. You are a wonderful candidate if waitlisted, so stay positive!

[Ultrapeaches]

Ahhh my other top choice is UCI and they're on the west coast so no hope of hearing from them until 11 am at the earliest.

[Nefelibata]

Congrats on USF! And congrats to whoever accepted VCU!

[avargason]

Well, so far I've been waitlisted at VCU but then I got accepted at Arcadia!! So I'm feeling way more relieved now. I just needed to hear from that first school to be able to breathe. 

[Ellaie]

Just checked my application on SLC and it says I was waitlisted.  Still haven't received an email.  Wanted to let everyone here know, so you can check your application status there instead of waiting for an email.

[HSGC2017]

So are rejection emails going out first or does it seem like they're doing calls first?

[Gorays39]

Accepted to Indiana State! So at least I don't have to worry about not getting in anywhere.

Question : what do you guys say when they call if you don't want to reject or accept right away

I got emails first. No one has called me yet.

I told USF I was leaning towards accepting, but wanted to think about it for a little bit.  I told them I'd get back to them as soon as possible.

I've just told the one that called me (the other one e-mailed me my acceptance) that I wanted to talk to my husband about the options before I made any decisions! I don't know if that's something you could do.. but it helped me so that I didn't sound uninterested, just want to be on the same page with him!

[Razzlezazzle]

When people got on a waitlist did they tell you your spot? 

[Gorays39]

What do you do if you get an email about an acceptance? Sarah Lawrence just accepted me but they did so via email.

Brandeis said I was on their "highest priority" waitlist which sounded... embellished to me.
