Hi! I’m a prospective GC applicant who’s hoping to nab a spot for next Fall. I just wanted to say: keep up the good work! 🙂
Thanks Mike! Best of luck!
Ladies, I’m delighted to come across your blog.
I’m on my journey into genetic counseling, taking a bit of a detour at the moment, but excited to be actively engaged with the field in the mean time. I look forward to thought provoking posts and learning about your journeys! Thank you for sharing.
Hello!
I’m hoping to get into a university for Genetic Counselling coming Fall. Reading this blog was extremely helpful. I’m so glad I came across it, especially because of the article on how other student profiles can be a bit overwhelming.
Great Job! 🙂
Hi guys! Just finished interviews (whew what a whirlwind of traveling these past 7 weeks!). Came across your site and glad to see all the resources you have for current students and practicing counselors. I Will certainly be visiting often!
Thanks, Shreya!
