Oh, yay--an MSW thread!
I applied for U Houston's online MSW program that starts fall 2016 (in mid-November), but I can't find timelines of when they start rolling out acceptance notifications. Do they wait until the deadline of March 15th or do they accept early? I'm trying for dual masters between UH and UT-SPH for epidemiology, and the nerves are just horrible.
Stats:
Graduated December 2015 w a BS in anthropology and psychology (cum laude--does that even matter?) 3.78 GPA
Two and a half years in an emergency mental crisis facility, plus another year and a half of direct patient care.
Recs: one from my work supervisor, one from an LPC I work with, and one from my anthropology department head (who supervised my independent study in human rights and social justice--also leading a project I am assisting with in locating the burial sites of reported missing migrant workers).
Concerns: no BSW background; I suck at self-promotion, so my SOP probably wasn't awesome; not enough ECs. I've worked so much between school and actual employment the past 2 years I had no time to contribute in a meaningful way to organizations. Also wondering if my focus on social justice type topics, as well as mental health, is discouraging to acceptance for clinical programs (like the online one).
