Welp, hopefully they weigh all the questions equally. Gonna hope my gpa/research experience can compensate for that answer

How explicit were some of you guys in regards to the fourth question in the written statement of UofT's MSW application? Re-reading mine now, and I feel like I spent more time contextualizing my social problem of interest and embedding my personal experiences in there, and feel like I could have dedicated more to addressing how social workers could solve it

Hi everyone, Best of luck to everyone applying for next year, and especially if you're applying to FIFSW . I'm applying to UofT's MSW 2-Year program. I'll probably apply to other schools but my heart is set on getting into UofT, which is making this application process really stressful. I'm quite confident in regards to my academic history (4.0 GPA in 3.00/4.00 full-time course equivalent; A+ in my statistics class), and have 3 years of research experience (including 2 years of clinical research experience in Psychiatry (1.5 years of paid work; currently still employed there), but I don't have a lot of direct care experience. I've worked closely with Social Workers on research and have handled clinical documentation- but I wish I spent more time in the past couple of years doing more direct volunteer work. I was wondering if anyone knew if academic requirement hold equivalent weight to experience? Thanks, AoS
