  1. Hello, I will be starting a full-time MSW program in fall and am wondering how much time current students recommend allowing for out of class study time. I have a couple volunteer experiences and need to know if I can continue those (one requires a one-year commitment and I'm just beginning training). Thanks for your help! Josh
  2. Hi all, So I was just accepted into the Fall '16 2-year MSW program. I have a 2.85 GPA and will be getting my General Science w/Biology minor degree in June. I'm also volunteering two different places, but have only about 1 year of relevant work/volunteer experience. When I went to the orientation, I asked if my medical experience counted as relevant and was told "It depends how you word it on your application, that will tell us how much you understand what social work is about." I'm pretty surprised I got in, but I think the program looks at your application as a whole. Remember that they want a diverse cohort, so even though you may think your non-social work experience hindrance, it can be a strength. Hope this helped! Josh
  3. Hey all, I'll be starting the 2-year MSW campus program at Portland Stat in fall. Just wanted to touch base with anyone else who's doing the same. I'm also finishing my undergrad right now at PSU, so if you're new to the school and have any questions I'd be happy to help if I can. Josh
