Hey guys! Congrats to everyone who got in . I'm a hopeful MSW candidate looking for advice. I am very interested in the Laurier part-time online program in order to continue working but also looking into other options.
I graduated 2 years ago from UBC with a BA. I came out of it with about a C+ average. Yeah, pretty low. I have always wanted to go back to school for grad studies and after a year of figuring it out, I realize MSW is what I would like to pursue. I currently work in Human Resources/Employment (as it pays the bills and wasn't able to find a position in mental health when I initially graduated) - actively looking for new positions. Within the year, I completed a certificate in Community Case Management in Mental Health hoping it would lead me towards the right track. I have about 2.5 years of volunteer experience in the mental health field back in BC and I am now currently pursuing relevant volunteer opportunities.
My issue, however, is increasing my GPA. Would you guys advice pursing a BSW before the MSW or doing relevant courses in order to boost my GPA?
I am hoping to applying within the next 2 years.
Any advice helps! Thank you
