mec2015

Hi, everyone! I just graduated in December with my BASW. I have applied for several MSW programs, and I was wondering if anyone knew the acceptance rate or if I even have a chance of getting in. I applied to Columbia University, NYU, Washington University in St. Louis, University of Michigan, Case Western Reserve, Hunter College, and the University of Louisville. First, is that too many? I feel like I applied to a lot of programs. I just want to make sure I have options. During undergrad, I participated in the Bonner Program (a college scholarship program based on service hours throughout high school). I had two Bonner internships at different nonprofits. I also interned as a social work student at an elementary school, an after-school program for low-income students, and my state's LGBT advocacy and lobbying campaign. While working with the LGBT group, I got the chance to apply for and start a SAGE affiliate (a program for LGBT older adults) in my city. I graduated with a 3.5 GPA and received 3 amazing recommendation letters (two from former internship supervisors and one from a professor). Do I appear to be a competitive candidate and does anyone know the acceptance rates of these schools? Thanks!
