Louise86, which school are you enrolled in and why did you choose it? How many schools did you look in to?
I have a 4.0, strong LOR's and personal statement and I wrote an undergrad honors thesis. I am hoping that these things will outweigh my GRE scores......I am so nervous as I take the GRE on Saturday
Anyone out there getting their MSW online? If I don't get accepted into FSU based on my very poor GRE scores, I will apply to some online programs. Any advice?
Thanks!
I take the GRE on Saturday and I am terrified! Based on my practice exams, I am getting 136Q and 145V. 3 in AWA. I have a 4.0 GPA, a solid essay and solid LOR's and I also completed an Honors Thesis. Hopfully they look past my low GRE scores and i get in anyway! Even as a provisional admit.
Thanks for the input. What I mean by medical or school social work is that I want to either work in a hospital/medical setting or be in the school system. Are you in the social work field?
I attend Florida State University and will graduate in December 2014 with a degree in Sociology and minor in Social Work and I also have ten years of experience as an office administrator/budget manager. I've been doing the part time student thing for a LONG time. The social work classes really speak to me and I hope to start a MSW program in fall 2015 but am hesitant.
Will I be able to find a job because I don't have a BSW or actual experience (I do currently volunteer at Hospice and as an ESOL tutor though)? Also, at my job I make a little under $40,000 without a degree; will I be able to find a job making close to that right out of the MSW program? I want to either go into Medical or School social work too. The other option i am considering is a Master's in Healthcare Admin. Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you!
