Registering for the Match

We participate in the Genetic Counseling Admissions Match through National Matching Services (NMS). The Match was established to place applicants in positions at masters-level genetic counseling programs that are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Genetic Counseling (ACGC). The Match uses a process that takes into account both applicants’ and programs’ preferences.

Please visit the NMS website to register for the Match, review detailed information about the matching process, and view a demonstration of how the matching algorithm works. All applicants must first register for the Match with NMS before applying to participating genetic counseling graduate programs. There is a Match registration fee of $100.

At the conclusion of all program interviews, each applicant and program will submit ranked lists of preferred programs to NMS according to deadlines posted on the NMS website. The binding results of the Match will be released to both applicants and programs simultaneously on Match Day.
