The truth about why I didn't match (genetic counseling application feedback)

Hi friends! :)
Today I'll be talking about:
- How the application feedback process works
- What my background is/what sort of applicant I was
- What feedback I received
I forgot to include in the video that a few of the programs also suggested becoming a clinical genetic counselor assistant and linked opportunities to apply for.
Also I'm sorry for my use of "you guys" during the video, I should have used "you all" which is gender-neutral. I will be more mindful of that for future videos.
Thank you for watching!
Priscilla

I have a bachelor's in molecular biology and have been working as an EHR analyst for 3 years. Hoping my IT background gives me a leg up. This video was such a great help! thank you!

That's certainly a unique work experience! You can definitely talk about certain situations in your job that has helped prepare you for a GC program in your personal statement and interviews. You're totally welcome! Good luck with your applications! 🤗

Thank you so much for your video!! :)

You're welcome! :D btw I'm also editing a video now on why I decided to not reapply for genetic counseling programs and pursue a MPH instead if that's a topic you're also interested in! I plan to publish it in the next few days~

You were a good candidate, you just need to show it more! As a STEM major it is sometimes so hard to talk about yourself, but with genetic counseling it really is about the humanness.

Kiara, you are so sweet! I appreciate you saying that :) You are definitely right that it can be difficult for me to talk about myself - I feel like as a STEM major we are conditioned to think that our research/work is the only measure of success or what other people care about. However in the genetic counseling field, it's soooo important to show the more human side of yourself to help the patient feel more comfortable.

How did you ASK for the feedback? Did you ask this to schools that you applied to and didn't interview with or only schools you interviewed with? TIA

@genesunravelled Год назад

Hi Kay, this is a great question! I am planning on making an Instagram post about this - but I asked via email and asked all programs that I applied to, regardless of whether or not I received an interview. That way programs that didn't send me an interview invite could give me feedback on my application package (resume, personal statement, letters of recommendation, etc.).

Hloo mam ... I'm doing msc human genetics.. can I become a genetic counselor??? Plzz respond mam

@genesunravelled 2 года назад

Hi there! It depends on what country you're getting your degree in and where you plan to practice. Here in the United States, you need to pass the American Board of Genetic Counseling to become a board certified genetic counselor and then depending on the state, you may also need to apply for a license. Since you are still in your master's program, I would suggest reaching out to your academic advisor or program director to see if they have any guidance for you on what you may need to do before you can be a genetic counselor!
