How to Prepare for GC Grad School Interviews: Behavioral Question Edition

If you do not know where to start with interview practice, this video is the place to start. We are going to go through three easy exercises you can complete in 10 minutes right now to improve your interview skills for genetic counseling grad school. Start prepping today to improve your confidence for your interviews.

I'm Katie Lee Hornberger, a multi-state licensed, certified genetic counselor with 7+ years of reproductive genetic counseling experience. I've worked in a clinic setting, a lab setting, and in multiple industry roles including a start-up and a small business where I was the first and only GC on staff. I love the field of reproductive genetic counseling and helping people grow their families, but beyond that I also enjoy teaching and training current GC students.

My vision for this channel is to inspire aspiring genetic counselors by providing insights into the career and application process. My hope is that by making information on genetic counseling widely available and showing a friendly genetic counselor face, a more diverse set of applicants will be inspired to explore a career in genetic counseling.

On Wannabe Wednesday I post content on the application process including tips on editing your CV, personal statement, and how to answer grad school interview questions. Beyond that I demystify common questions about genetic counseling like how much do you get paid and whether or not genetic counseling is a stressful career. If this content sounds interesting to you, please subscribe to my channel and ring the notification bell! While other GCs have monetized application help, I am committed to sharing lots of tips for free so you don't want to miss out.

What types of questions would you recommend asking interviewers at genetic counseling programs?

This is so helpful! I’ve been practicing for my interviews. I’m excited but nervous! For questions I may not have an answer for or may not know how to answer how can I appropriately respond? Also, are there questions we should steer clear of asking programs? Thank you so much for this amazing video!
