I've been lurking around this thread for a bit and decided I'd write up a quick post. I'm hoping to apply to social work programs next year to start in Fall 2015. I was wondering what experience those of you who have been recently accepted had before applying.
I always thought I'd go to law school, so I have a lot of research/legal/policy experience (always with a social justice focus). I also was a peer mentoring and volunteer teacher in college and before college. I'm just wondering if that's enough or if I should apply for Fall 2016 and take on a more direct service related job. I want to be a clinical social worker for children. I'm looking at Mich, Columbia, and Penn in particular. Thoughts? Any advice would be much appreciated!
