Hey everyone! I received an offer to the advanced standing MSW program at Western/King's. In previous years, it always helped me when people would share their experience and stats so I thought i'd do the same ☺️:
I completed my BSW with a 3.9 average on a 4.0 scale. I graduated in 2021.
I have a little over 5,000 hours of direct social work and human services experience (this also includes the practicums I completed for my bsw).
For the writing portion of the application I used a critical lens and also made my answers personable by sharing my experiences. I wrote succinctly, however, due to the world limits!
Anyone who is waiting to hear back from any University, I wish you the best of luck! Also remember you are smart. You are worthy. You matter. A rejection does not mean you are less than or unworthy. It means those schools are missing out!
Fun fact: I was waitlisted for my bsw in 2019 and almost didn't get in. Bet on yourself ☺️
