I finally submitted my applications. Carleton, Dalhousie, and uManitoba's non-BSW stream. Feels good to get it out of the way and just wait now. Can't help feeling anxious about the results, but it's out of my control.
My GPA isn't the most competitive (B+ average) from my last 60 credits. I have about 4000 hours of SW adjacent experience. Most of my experience is from non-profit work (crisis intervention) and the provincial health authority (working in inpatient psychiatric hospital units).
I was raw with my statement of intent and dug into connecting my lived experiences with why I chose clinical SW as a profession. Hopefully, that resonates with the admissions team. Best of luck everyone! February/March feels so close yet so far.
