MIMSW

And this is just for the MSW program. I'm not sure what the acceptance rates are for the advance standing program...

So it's my understanding that competitive means a lower acceptance rate and you're competing with more applicants for limited space. Like the website for u of m says approximately 430 are accepted out of over 1250 applicants. So that's a acceptance rate of 34.4 percent.

I'm applying to University of Michigan and Howard University for their online advanced standing part time MSW programs starting in the fall. I had no idea how competitive some of these programs were and that placed way more stress on the situation. I may also apply to other colleges with the same program, I just don't have the money for a ton of application fees.

@ElleDiMi I noticed you had applied to UofM as well. Do you have any advice for the statement portion of the application?

I'm working on my statement and I'm wondering if anyone has any advice. Do they want you to just answer the questions or give a personal statement and answer the questions within that if that makes any sense. I just always feel like I'm doing it wrong and always work best with examples but I haven't been able to find any so far.
