Dna Today: A Genetics Podcast

A panel of four incoming genetic counseling graduate schools discuss the application process. This is part two of two podcasts, discussing the second portion of the application cycle: interviews, ranking, and matching. Episode 87 was the first part of this conversation where we discussed how to gather the experience and classes to have a competitive application.We also surveyed over 50 incoming genetic counseling students (enrolling Fall 2018) who went through the last application process, which was also the first time the Match System was used. Their feedback has also been summarized on episode 87’s blog post . We hope prospective and applying students find this summary and these two episodes helpful!On This Episode We Discuss:Overall Application TimelineSchools Applied vs Interviews Invites ReceivedPreparation Strategies for InterviewsA Typically Interview Day ScheduleTypes of Interview QuestionsMethods to Keep Track of Schools/InterviewsHow the Match System WorksFactors Used to Assess and Rank ProgramsReas
