  1. Hi all! I plan to apply to MSW programs in NYC for Fall 2020. My plan was always to attend grad school full time, but the reality has settled in that I can't afford to not work for two years while in school (shocker!). Has anyone done an MSW program full-time and also worked at least part time? I need to pay rent somehow, but I also don't want it to get in the way of my school plans. Thanks!
  2. I haven't fully researched other schools yet, but I am open to going elsewhere. I'm just from NYC and have lived here my whole life so those are the schools I'm familiar enough with to start with.
  3. That was so helpful, thank you! I'm particularly passionate in the domestic and sexual violence realm, but I don't plan to do clinical/therapy work but more hands-on work with the victims if that makes sense. (I haven't fully articulated yet what I hope to do but I've always been interested in that and the hotline I volunteer with focuses on sexual abuse so I think I've found my niche in that.)
  4. No advanced standing, my undergrad didn't offer a BA in social work unfortunately
  5. Thank you for the response! I definitely will consider more affordable programs, like Hunter and other local ones. I haven't done much research on all potential schools yet so I just named a few off the top of my head for now
  6. Hello all! I'm (finally!) a senior and have been looking forward for years to my career in social work. I'll be taking a gap year to gain some experience and save up some money and I'll be applying for Fall 2020 admission to MSW programs. I'm a little nervous and am hoping to hear some insights because I can't seem to find admission requirements or statistics anywhere! Anyway, I have a 3.43 GPA, which isn't amazing but I had a rough first several semesters because of my lack of college prep but have been working hard to raise my GPA in the last two years. I volunteer on a crisis hotline and interned for a non profit this summer, but other than that I don't have much direct experience and I'm worried I'm not the best candidate. I want to apply to NYU, UPenn, Columbia, and others (haven't decided where yet) and was wondering if anyone knows how competitive this field is and if I stand a chance. I can't see myself doing anything other than Social Work and I'm so committed to the field, but I'm afraid my college stats don't represent that so well. Any insights would be helpful! Thanks!:)
