Hello,
I would first like to apologize for my glaring reference to The Beatles in my subject, I could not help it.
However, more importantly I do need the assistance of all your brilliant minds. I am currently a undergraduate senior who seriously wants to pursue a MSW. However, I do not know if my chances of getting accepted to a 'good' graduate school is a possibility. While my GPA is quite solid, a 3.776, my major is History... which is not in the major fields of sociology, human services, or psychology which a significant amount of students attending MSW have. And while I have a minor in Woman/Gender Studies, I am worried that my major will be an disadvantage. Also, I believe I have a lower chance as while I am heavily involved in student organizations which center around social justice (Students for Peace and Justice, Amnesty International, Spectrum, SHARE, etc) I lack a solid example of volunteering due to the lack of having a vehicle. I am worried that my lack of working experience in the social service field as well as my absence of a major in social work/sociology etc. will adversely affect me. I would like to attend such institutions as Rutgers, New York University, Fordham University, Loyola-Chicago University, Boston College, and well etc.
I was hoping you all could either a. soothe my intense worrying or b. be realistic and tell me I have absolutely no chance of going to such grad schools.
I would love any advice you all can provide me.
Thank you,
Best,
Maus
