Admission Information

Students applying to the program will be considered with a holistic approach based upon the following:

• Response to questions

• Academic performance

• Volunteer experience (see Academic Requirements for types of experience)

• Three reference letters (one must be an academic reference)

• Interview

Once the review process has been completed, 25 applicants are invited for virtual interviews over the month of March/early April. An orientation session is held virtually with all invited applicants prior to the start of the interview cycle where applicants will learn more about the U of T MSc Program in Genetic Counselling and meet with students. On the day of the interview, panel interviews will be conducted with individual applicants. Interviewees also attend educational activities and have an opportunity to meet with current students. Six students will be accepted to begin their studies in September. The selected candidates will be notified by e-mail by National Matching Services (NMS) as part of the Genetic Counselling Admissions Match. See Application Procedures for more information.
