Just got my BU acceptance email yay!!! I applied for the on campus part time program. Only got a $5000 scholarship. Unfortunately I found out after applying that merit based scholarships for part time programs are really low/not great. But I’m still hyped that I got in!

I’m dying for BU’s decision!! I really hope it comes out tomorrow ??

Hey guys Im submitting my application for BU’s MSW part-time program for Fall 2022 tomorrow. Do you guys think I have a high chance of getting in? I’m so anxious. So here are my stats: I have a BA in Political Science with a minor in Gender Studies from Tulane. I graduated cum laude with a 3.794 GPA. However, I had several incompletes and withdrawals in my last 2 years of undergrad due to mental and physical health reasons which is what makes me super nervous about getting in? This past semester, I took 2 graduate level psychology classes online at the Harvard Extension School and received A’s in both classes. I have various work and volunteering experience. Most recently, I worked at a non-profit law firm in San Diego called the Legal Aid Society of San Diego for over a year. I was a Consumer Health Advocate working with mostly low-income clients. Our services were free. I am the child of 2 Syrian Muslim immigrants which has been an integral part of the way I navigate systems. I have received 3 letters of recs from former professors (one from Harvard and two from Tulane) and one from a former supervisor. I’m also waiting on an additional letter of rec from one of my Harvard profs. (I know only 3 letters of rec are required but they allow up to 6). Do you guys think I have a good chance of getting in even with all of the incompletes and withdrawals? I worked very hard on my personal statement and had lots of accomplished people help me edit it. I also talked about my struggles in the personal statement in a way I think will be positively received. Also, BU MSW students, please leave your admission stats below if you’re willing! I’m sure it would be super helpful for me and other applicants as well
