I am hoping to apply to MSW programs for Fall 2016. I did really horrible my freshman year of college and ended up getting a 1.6 GPA because of depression and issues at home. I left the university that I was at and took courses at community college to bring my GPA up. I ended up transferring into a different university, my degree granting university, and here I have a 3.5 GPA. The problem is , because I originally had such low grades my all college GPA ends up being a 2.7 and I know most programs have a set requirement of 3.0 for admittance. I have experience as an intern and also working for a nonprofit as well as being active in my sorority on campus, organizing community service events and chartering two chapters of nonprofit organizations on campus. I am looking to go into a program focused on Macro level social work. I am wondering if I even should waste the time in applying to programs if my GPA doesn't meet the minimum requirement.( I also don't feel like taking the GRE will boost my chances since I haven't taken a math class in years and i'm horrible at math)
Schools I want to apply to in the Fall: Depaul, UIC, The Catholic University, Widener, Temple, Howard
