Hi,
So, I've been viewing this forum for months now, checking things out, and I finally decided to make an account! I got accepted in January to attend Wayne State University for my MSW in Fall 2015. I'm not sure how it works for other schools, but at Wayne we have two internships, a different placement each school year. Now, I'm in the process of getting placed at an agency. I was told when Wayne places students, they only place so many so there is less competition and that way it is less likely to need to replace students. So I was under the impression I just needed to not screw up the interview and I'd have the internship spot. I just recently had my interview, and at the end they told me they had other student candidates to interview, and they would let me know their final decision once they interviewed the other candidates. I'm freaking out a little now. This agency is exactly what I want, and as a first year student it's one of the harder places to get placed at. I thought I had gotten lucky by going in and figuring out my internship early. I don't know how many interns they take or how worried I should be. I'm worried if I don't get this placement there will be very few places left to pick from and I won't be happy about where I end up getting placed.
Anyone have any experience with this or stories to tell to help ease my worry? Thanks!
