  1. I wouldn't encourage you not to apply but I would suggest gaining more experience since it's way more competitive now and also you can see whether or not you really want to pursue a MSW afterall and also which population/concentration that matches you. I was advised not to apply for a masters until gaining more experience and not to rush into it but I wanted to try anyway. Plus the application process can be soooooooo stressful. I applied for Fall 2012 and was denied. I applied again for Fall 2013 and got into 2 schools so far. My GPA is pretty low (3.0 in the last 90 units) & I have a little over 3 years of experience in child welfare with a BA in Sociology w/ a Social Work Option.
  2. I agree that this field can be physically, mentally, and emotionally draining - so that's why it’s important to have a balance between work and your personal life. It might be a good idea to work for a few years in the field to see what population you're a good match with and determine if you really want to pursue a MSW. Were your friends and relatives social workers? And were there other reasons besides being burnt out? Also, SW don't get paid a lot either...
  3. Jackie from the Title IV-E dept is super helpful & she responds pretty fast. Interviews should either be on April 22 or May 14
  4. Yeah I will most likely be going to SFSU
  5. I believe it's only for people who applied for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) so it probably doesn't apply to international students.
  6. I got the letter too, maybe they're reviewing IFG concentrations last...?
  7. Thank you! Hang in there...!
  8. I did apply for the stipend. I've heard really great things as well - I was informed by many people that the SFSU program was one of the best programs. Students had a well-rounded experience with excellent professors. Students also had the opportunity to intern at Alameda County CPS along with interns from SJSU. SFSU program offered a excellent curriculum compared to SJSU. Also, students received extensive trainings that the other schools did not offer.
  9. Also google Tonier Cain & her website healingneen.com
  10. Yeah, it is pretty uncomfortable to have to face them, but I'm sure they have to deal with this every year when people have other options. I wish I didn't respond so fast, but I honestly lost all hope in other schools and I didn't want to lose my spot. To all other people waiting, don't give up!!!
  11. A group of people also agreed with you that I should totally go to SFSU instead...! I already confirmed my intent to enroll with SJSU... but I guess I'll have to let them know that I might change my mind. Thanks for your input!
  12. Ditto, I'm trying to find the best way to word it... Did you send an e-mail?
  13. I just heard from SFSU! Which one to pick?? SJSU vs. SFSU
  14. I just got an e-mail from Gabriela! I'm in! Now I have to pick between SJSU & SFSU.... pros & cons?
