Well I know people who are a COP&D method and they work closely with communities and individuals but then some people do just work in an administrative setting and don't interact with clients, only their fellow coworkers. So it's really a tossup on where they put you for your first year. Your second year you have more input. And while yes, the MSW is an MSW, the way you'll learn the material and approach it definitely does matter depending on your method. In terms of finding a job, it depends on what you want to do. If you would like to work in an agency and do more one-on-one clinical work but are a COP&D method, I don't know how prepared you'll feel. But if you want to work with communities and more on the macro side, then COP&D is the way to go. I hope this helps.

I go to Hunter now and I can say that even if you are a COP&D method, you can still take electives in clinical and they also offer a lot of support for people in your situation who feel anxiety over lack of experience. I will tell you though that if you are having doubts, you should tell them now because once you're in, it's very difficult to switch methods, if not nearly impossible. And yes it's true that more people apply to the clinical track, but they also accept more people as a result, so I think it balances each other out. I hope this helped.

The only school I'm kinda familiar with on your list is NYU. NYU like a lot of MSW Programs don't require the GRE. They also like to see about a straight year or so in some type of social service position or work, whether it be paid or voluntary so it sounds like you meet that criteria. Truth be told NYU is probably one of the easier MSW programs to get into. I know its NYU but in all actuality they accept I think 50% if not a little more of those who apply which I think is a lot compared to other schools. NYU is also very clinical so if clinical is what you are interested in than it would be a good choice.

I'll also be attending Hunter in the fall! I'm really excited, I really wanted to go there. I have to meet with a financial aid adviser about taking out loans.

I just found out I got into Hunter! I'm so excited that all my work has paid off. Good luck to everyone!

Hey everybody! I was wondering if anyone had heard anything from Hunter yet. I should be hearing anytime now so I was just wondering if anyone else had heard back. Please mention when your interview was and if you've heard back. Thanks and good luck to all!!!!

Congratulations about Columbia! I know someone who goes there and is very satisfied with the program. I'm also waiting to hear back from Hunter. I interviewed two Fridays ago so technically I should hear back today. I'm so nervous but hopefully it'll work out. I also applied to Fordham and should hear back from them any day now.
