Hi everyone, never too early to start the discussion! I'm interested in msw programs with a clinical focus so that I can get my lcsw and practice in mental health therapy. I am an undergraduate rising senior majoring in Psychology and minoring in Sociology. I have grown up in North Carolina my entire life and wish to go to grad school up north! Still narrowing my top choices but am strongly considering Rutger's University of New Brunswick, Columbia University, NYU, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and University of North Carolina at Charlotte. 

That's what my plan is as well. Looking at UPenn, Temple University, West Chester University, (possibly) Bryn Mawr, The Ohio University, Cleveland State, Monmouth, and maybe UMichigan. Still narrowing down, but Temple and West Chester have their SOP questions up so I've actually started working on that. Good luck!

[Fall 2021 Choosing?]

How do you narrow down where you want to attend? Obviously I want the most aid I can get, but how do you know who will offer good packages? 

I'm currently in CA but want to be either by the Great Lakes or East Coast. I would LOVE to be able to combine something with spirituality (divinity?) and Social Work. I looked heavily into University of Michigan as they have a Jewish fellowship offering, but had no idea the school was so competitive.

I've also looked at West Chester University as I would love to be somewhere near Philadelphia if the right package was given. But I'm totally open to somewhere else too. 

I got my Bachleor's in Global Studies and currently work in Compliance for a CBO but don't - at all - know the graduate school landscape. I'm 32 and have been out of the loop for some time. Where to begin? Can I even connect spirituality and a social work at the master's level? Thank you!
