Hi all,
I have just graduated UCLA with a BA in Political Science/minor in Education
.
Given some personal and professional experiences over the past couple of years, I have decided to pursue a MSW.
My school of choice is UChicago, so that I can be close to my family during a hard time.
I am graduated UCLA with a 3.8, along with a lot of volunteer/leadership experience. My most rewarding volunteer internship was a year long and via JusticeCorps/AmeriCorps (serving self represented litigants who are usually being evicted from their homes). I also tutored homeless children for a semester and underprivileged children another year.
During my gap year I will be moving from California to Wisconsin, so I will not have any time to intern or gain solid work experience before the application period in the fall.
Do I still have a solid chance at being admitted into a MSW program? Specifically UChicago?
Thanks so much!
