Thanks for the reply , I wouldn't be expecting a major change but most likely a small one. I would honestly rather just get all of the applications done early rather later. I'm confident in my LOR that will given and as far as experience I have over 2 years in Atlantic City as an EMT. Although many think of that as more physical health I have direct patient contact when mental illness and other human service related issues. Obviously it's different that directly volunteering with a social services agency but my daily contact with the individuals I feel can strengthen my application if only by a little bit.
