Hi! I’m really interested in genomic counselling. I know the main path is through the STP. I also know that it’s highly competitive. I want to get some advice on what I can do to better my chances of getting in.

Recently graduated with a BSc in Biological Sciences with a first and will be completing a MSc in Genomic Medicine. I don’t have any lab experience outside of uni, my undergrad was very molecular biology focused and I pretty much had the same modules as my biomedical sciences friends. What else can I do to better my chances? I plan on getting more lab experience though my masters. Is that enough?

I also know care experience is really sought after. I did a lot of childcare jobs through the years not sure if that helps. But I’m also willing to get some carer experience whilst completing my masters. Do you all think that would help?

I’m feel really hopeless in terms of getting in tbh as so many people say it’s super competitive and have been trying for years but of course still want to give it a go. I have no idea what else I can do after my masters and would appreciate some advice on potential roles outside of the STP as well.

Thanks!
