ABOUT JOURNEY 2 GC

Welcome to Journey2GC! I just graduated in May 2020 my B.S. in biology, and I am a 2nd time applicant who will be starting my genetic counseling program in the fall of 2021! I applied to and interviewed with programs in the 2020 application cycle, and after not matching, I realized I still had a lot to learn about the application process for GC programs. As someone who once struggled to find resources and information during their journey to GC, I hope that this blog will help aspiring genetic counselors along their journey to GC.
