No I haven't! They also told me they won't give out the financial aid decisions until March. And thank you! I'm about to finish my bachelors in psychology at a state school. (NOT UT Austin) The time when I was applying - My cumulative GPA was 3.5 I had a TON of research experience as a psych major and four solid letters of recommendations from faculties I've been working with for about 2 years and had several conference posters. Not much community service volunteer work to be honest. I know not everyone is going to have the same background - but I just had a lot of background in research because I was originally thinking about pursuing a graduate degree in experimental psychology!

Ah I see.. thank you! Also, do you mind if I ask which area of Social Work you're planning on going into after your MSW? I was wondering how the job market is like overall right after you get your MSW and first get your license in LMSW before specializing in an area!

And congratulations for getting accepted!!

Ahh Thank you! Do you mind if I ask what you got your bachelors degree in? I am not sure if I should take psych classes that are more geared towards "clinical realm" (like clinical psychology, abnormal psychology) even though they are known to be one of the harder classes at my university or take psych classes that are still in the advanced level but are known to be a bit "easier" compared to the classes above?

Hi everyone. I know I still have a lot of time until I actually start applying but I just had couple of questions for those of you that are in the process or already in a MSW program! I'm currently working on my BS in Psych in Texas and I am hoping to go into a MSW program and eventually become a LCSW. Now, I am wrapping up my 5th semester in undergrad and my undergrad cumulative so far is 3.45 with my Psych GPA sitting at a 3.6 (out of 4.0). I changed my major multiple times so a lot of science classes that I don't need for my psych degree has hurt my GPA quite a bit I don't have anyone around me that is in a MSW program or interested in a MSW program so I was wondering if you guys can give me an insight on how competitive of a GPA I need to get into a MSW program? I can't afford moving out of state so I'm going to have stay within the state of Texas. ANY insight will be great!!! Thanks y'all!
