DDBSW

I got into UNC Advanced standing this morning! I CANNOT believe it. They really do look at the whole application, guys. I only have a 3.1 GPA and I did embarrassingly awful on the GRE. But I have a 3.9 social work GPA, been a social work research assistant, started a mental health awareness organization on campus (NAMI), studied abroad, served as chair of several diversity and mental health initiatives on campus, had the BSW program director do my LOR, etc. I spent at least 6 months crafting my personal statement and I think that's what got me in. My experiences pulled me through. I didn't have hope, and then this happened. Don't give up!

I emailed the Assistant Director of Admissions yesterday and he just replied back today. He said offer letters will continue to go out through the month of February (6 more days!). So I don't think we will have to wait until mid march. I applied advanced standing. The wait is killing me but I'm also preparing a backup plan by looking into full-time fellowship or internship programs.

I submitted everything in December. Being in my senior year at undergrad and applying for MSW programs was a NIGHTMARE. I know my MSW friends received acceptance letters Mid-February last year.

Do you all have a backup school? I also applied to NC State and NC Central! I am a macro person all the way so I really don't want to go to a generalist program.

Hey! I am. I am a senior in a BSW program. UNC has great rankings and a great reputation. They also have a great macro track so I'm excited about that! My application is done, I just have to take the dreadful GRE. Any tips on studying?
