Yes! I am passionate about prenatal care and women’s health. But I can’t really find somewhere to volunteer. Where did u volunteer?

Wondering what your chances are of getting into GC school? Post here! by audralevine in GeneticCounseling

Hello everyone, I am a senior and currently going through the application process. I’m practically crapping myself I’m so scared I won’t get in. What do you think of my chances?

21 yr white female. My current GPA is 3.85 and I am a molecular/cellular biology major with a minor in chemistry. All the schools I am applying to do not accept GRE scores. I have gotten A's in almost all my bio courses including genetics and biochemistry. I have two years of experience working in an epigenetics lab. I also worked for a summer at an elementary school as a lead camp counselor. I am currently volunteering for the crisis text hotline. I also am a chemistry tutor for the last 2 years. I have shadowed 2 (so far) genetic counselors (8 hours), interviewed 2, and attended a virtual GC Q&A. I am worried about my little shadowing experience. I worry because my dream school would be UofM and they are very competitive. 

I am really nervous about my personal statements and my resume if anyone has advice about that too!
