Genetic Counseling Fall 2017 Applicants

[GCFaith92]

@Elisheva my 2 friends got acceptances via email about 45 minutes ago. No waitlist yet. @minja134 I no I haven't heard from anyone and thought I would have heard from all by now :-(

Waitlisted at Indiana and shocked tbh. Good luck all and I hope some of you get offers from multiple places and reject Indiana for me

Thanks @GCFaith92

Got a rejection email from Thomas Jefferson..they were my least favorite of all the places I applied and definitely didn't have a good "vibe" with any of the staff there, so definitely no hard feelings...haha. It is a bit rough that the FIRST thing I hear back is a rejection..oh well.. 3 more to hear back from!

When did you hear back from Jefferson?

[kbash]

@GCapplicant 9:30..I posted here immediately after seeing it lol

Thanks! Still nothing in my inbox. D: good luck with your last three!

Accepted to ISU, some relief finally. Still waiting on Jefferson.

@HC929 I also just got the waitlist call, and now they are down to 2 spots left. :/

Casually panicking over here anytime see an email notification pop up... nobody has reported anything from my school yet.

[GCFaith92]

Waitlisted at Rutgers, my top choice. So if you get an offer from them and don't want them pleaseeee do this girl a favor and let them know ASAP!

Someone got a call from UAMS but nothing here yet. Email or otherwise ?

Anyone who interviewed at Emory or VCU remember about how much cost of living was? I lost my pros and cons list!

I don't know the number specifically, but the area around VCU is pretty affordable for a large city.

While waiting to hear from two programs, here are my current (not completely reasonable) thoughts and feeling:

-Maybe programs are being nice and waiting until it's not super early for west coasters.

-My dream was actually a premonition and they've decided not to talk to me me ever again. That's ok, I'll use my new found psychic abilities and join the circus.

-My phone somehow broke over night in a way that allows me to still go online, use my apps, and get spam emails, but nothing important.

-I need a nap.

Virginia was pretty reasonable. The low cost of housing was something the students kept talking about.

@atx09, I was at both. To my Midwestern sense of affordability (I'm used to everything being crazy cheap), Richmond seemed really reasonable and Atlanta seemed more expensive.

[WBGC]

Just got accepted to UC Irvine via phone!! The whole phone call thing is such an adrenaline rush ?

[Ultrapeaches]

Waitlisted at BU.

UCI is my last hope. Who else is waiting to hear from them? 

[zbmrtk]

realistically, how many people get in off the waitlist?

was told i'm on the "upper portion" but not sure what my odds are at this point

[mosley]

From something someone at one of the interviews said, it seems like directors are more willing to give you more detailed information about waitlist spots on the second and third days...

It really just depends on the year, I think. I was informed they've gone to where I am (midrange) in the past but it all depends on who got in and if they accept or not. No way to know, but more info will be available tomorrow.

Congrats!

I'm also waiting for the contact from UCI. And now I could not put my phone down any more.

[Nefelibata]

Sounds like my school has made their admissions calls already.. someone reported a waitlist email and I haven't gotten anything yet so who knows how far down the list I am...

[Gadgette]

Just got a call from Pittsburgh, high on the waitlist!
