Hey Guys,
I have a question any of you. You all seem super helpful and I also want to say congrats to people who have received/are receiving acceptances!!
I was wondering if you guys could gauge if you think I have any shot at all at getting an acceptance to a MSW program (ideally U of T) within a couple of years.
I only recently began thinking about pursuing this option, mainly because I was not well-versed what a social worker can actually do. I did my bachelors in biochemistry/psychology. I am currently finishing up my MSc in pharmacology, and for this degree I have been doing brain-imaging research in individuals with early psychosis. It is during this time I met many of this people and developed an interest in social work. (I also have a depressed/suicidal friend that highly impacted me and he told me that his therapist had a MSW which sort of peaked my interest as I had no idea that was someone you could do with a MSW). I also have no where near the kinds of community experience/volunteer hours you guys have - it's really really impressive how much experience you guys seem to have when applying.
Anyways, sorry for rambling! Basically, just wondering if you know anyone coming from a pretty different background (I am pretty well versed in psychiatric illnesses, clinical interviews, etc). If I worked for a year or two and volunteered some more do you think that I would be an enticing candidate, or is my background way too far off, being from natural sciences?
Any input would be appreciated - thank you and good luck/congratulations!!!
*also my username says MScMT because I did actually apply to OISE this year and got accepted but am still thinking whether or not I want to go
