Hi there, I applied to UNC and NCSU 2015 and got into both. I was awarded a fully funded gta with NCSU. It’s been a few years but any insight I can offer I am happy to. I chose NCSU over UNC because they offered funding and UNC did not. I found the application process to be pretty straight forward and at the MSW level experience was a plus. UNC is more competitive and clinical. NCSU is a generalist program and less competitive.
