MSW programs that have accepted below 3.0 GPA
kmarks1 replied to AshToGrad's topic in Social Workers Forum
Like everyone has said, it probably depends on the school. I was accepted in the Online Program at PSU with a pretty underwhelming GPA (2.6ish - aka, slacker undergrad) - but, I think I had a pretty solid Statement of Purpose and I have a few years experience, along with some great recommendation letters. You definitely have to balance the low GPA with your other more shining qualities -

I can't wait to meet you both! Did y'all already sign up for the May conference call/google hangout? I'm doing the Wednesday option. -
Yaay! Looking forward to meeting you!

Hey! I just found out I got in today (SO EXCITED)! I was really worried I wouldn't get in, but here I am! 1. School supplies: I definitely need a new laptop. That's priority number one for me. Other than that I stick to the basics - some people color code, sticky note, index card, etc. I like to follow the KISS philosophy (Keep It Simple, Stupid), ha. I'll probably get a notebook, a mechanical pencil, and a pen. 2. I'll also be online, so I think school supplies will be less of a thing - I really think as long as we have good laptops/computers then all will be well.. But I'm just assuming. 3. Telling coworkers and supervisors probably depends on your work culture and the organization. I currently work at a nonprofit where a lot of people have their MSW or LCSW, and a lot of them went to PSU. Almost everyone at my work knows I applied, and my supervisor was one of the first people I told when I got accepted. They are actually willing to work with my school schedule in the future and are very supportive! Im looking forward to starting school again! (Something I never thought I'd say after I finished my undergrad). I'm also really ooking forward to meeting everyone! -
I got in!!! I'll be joining the online program - wooh!!
-
Congrats!!!
-
Yup! Still waiting. I was really hoping that I'd find out on Friday, but I guess it'll have to wait until Monday (hopefully)! What's another couple days?? >.<
-
Yeah, it was pretty much the only option for me too. Good luck to you!
-
Sounds like you got in!! Congrats!!
-
I applied for the online program since I currently work full time in Eugene. They don't accept very many people to their online program so I'm really nervous!
-
I'm still waiting too! Which program did you apply for?
-
Sorry to hear that - you were accepted into two other great schools so that's awesome! Best of luck to you!
-
Me too!! I think I've checked my email and the website every minute for the past half hour!

I'm assuming they're rolling out notifications based on which registration deadline you met? At least I hope so..
