Having 2 field placements will give you a lot more experience which is really important to employers. In the field of social work experience matters more than the school because as long as they are accedidated, they follow a similar curriculum. Seems like Simmons will give you more experience, you will graduate sooner so you can start working sooner and it is still a very respectable school.

How do the programs compare in cost?

I feel like the MSW programs say that they only look at the grades from the last 60 units because it sounds nice. In reality they care about gpa A LOT!
Is there a way you can boost up your gpa, like by retaking some classes? If that's not possible then you have to make sure your personal statement, experience and recommendations are out of this world. And apply early, not towards the end of the deadline

Wow! Congrats guys!

I hate the wait. Makes me question what's wrong with my app I was already enrolled in the MSW program at USC and withdrew after one semester because of the cost. I wish they would hurry up and let everyone know already!

Hi,
 
I just applied to for the MSW program at USC last week (for their late application deadline). I called them and they said they were still accepting applications so I gave it a shot. Can you tell me about the process? Right now my application says it's in the first stage of review. What happens next?

For all the people waiting to hear from CSUDH- they told me that they will give a decision by July at the latest. So annoyed right now....
