  1. Hello all! Hope everyone is enjoying their spring! I am choosing between CSU Fullerton and CSU LA for my MSW for Fall 2019. I am from Northern California so do not know many people who have heard of either program! My goal is to get my license as a clinical social worker. I want to work with families and youth, as well as the eating disorder population, in hopes of obtaining my own private practice. I am being mindful of the cost of living, traffic, and career opportunities for the field. My question is: Which program is a better fit for my interests in clinical social work? How is the cost of living between these two areas? For those who have attended either, what are your experiences? I have to make a decision by this week so any feedback is helpful! Thank you
  2. Also, I got an e-mail yesterday morning stating that I didn't get into CSU LB due to all seats already being filled and is based on rolling admissions...for that school would have been a good thing to apply early! Good luck to all!
  3. CSU Fullerton
  4. Hello! The waiting process is SOOOO excruciating so I know how you feel but hang in there! I applied to CSUF for fall 2019 MSW program on the deadline of January 15th, got contacted for an interview on February 23rd and interviewed on February 27th, and got accepted on March 19th, and was contacted all through e-mail. For CSULA I sent the application on deadline and just got my letter of acceptance through mail April 7th. I applied to CSULB also but have not heard anything back yet! I sent this application on the deadline as well. Hope this helps and wish you luck!!!!
  5. Definitely, thank you for your reply and insight! I always have thought that my experience was not enough but hearing your reply says otherwise and is very encouraging. Thank you!
  6. Wow!!! Thank you so very much for your reply! Yes, I agree that the research is gearing towards prevention and that we recognize its importance and want to add to this change! Thank you for the tip as well for adding statistics. I feel that would make my point stronger! Good luck on your MSW applications!
  7. Hello, I am new here!!! I am sitting in a car dealership waiting for my car to get an oil change (thank goodness for WiFi) and am working on my FALL 2019 MSW grad apps and I am stuck! There are moments when I am motivated, know what I want to do with my career, but then there is another part of me that is doubting myself. I am a first generation Filipinx-American and feel that it is a very underrepresented population especially in regards to mental health. I want to change that, focusing on youth and families and doing research on eating disorders, and working on prevention. However, am worried that I won't "fit-in" for admissions and that the admissions committee will not see how this topic is an issue. I have researched this topic as an undergrad but my women's health professor told me she didn't think this was a problem in society. Thankfully, one professor understood and helped me develop the topic. Anyways, I am posting and hoping to get some insights about what my chances are for getting in to a MSW program, and if anyone can relate about this "underrepresentation" issue. Here is my background- - Bachelor's in Psychology (emphasis in clinical mental health) and a minor in Health Education. - Graduated in May 2017 with a 3.56 overall GPA. Junior/Senior GPA is 3.71 - Founder of a multi-cultural based sorority on campus. Served numerous positions and engaged in community work and hosting empowerment workshops as undergrad and am currently an alumni advisor. - Worked at a non-profit organization during my undergrad as a youth development counselor (1 year 3 months) -After graduating, became a Behavioral Therapist working with individuals and families with autism where I currently work (1 year, part time but about 34 hours a week) -In conjunction, work for a residential treatment eating disorders facility for teens and adolescents with eating disorders (5 months) (on-call, about 8 hours a week) - care-taker for disabled family member (3 years) I plan to apply to UCLA, CSU LA, CSU Long Beach, Cal State Hayward, SJSU, CSU Dominguez Hills, CSU Fullerton. I appreciate taking the time to read this!
