Thank you both for the timely responses! I think I went into this with not doing enough research. I recently went to a social work panel hosted at UCI and 1 of the social workers told me CSULB received over 600 apps, and accepted around 100-that is ridiculous! It's scary to hear you say I have a better chance at UW, because I feel thats my worst shot. I dont hear too much about CSULA-does anyone know much about the program?

So I am applying to U. Wash, CSU Los Angeles, Sac State, and was rejected from CSULB last month. My bf graduated from Long Beach's MSW a few years ago and keeps close contact with the department personnel. He called and they told him they were surprised at how young I am. I am now beginning to become anxious as I await decisions, which should be coming very soon (Sacramento should be notifying my via email this week ) My concern is that they believe I do not have enough "life experience" to pursue such a degree. To give some work experience stats: 1) I am Vice President of a homeless outreach on the UC Irvine campus. A position I've been in for close to 2 years. This job comes with many community service tasks (soup kitchens, feeding homeless, awareness on campus, etc.) 2) I worked at an AA/NA program for 3 years. 3) Worked at the Boys and Girls club for about 2 years. 4) Assistant for In-home health services for a little over a year 5) Internship at UCI LGBT resource center (and the director wrote an amazing LoR). 6) Student body VP at my previous college. What do y'all think?! I would appreciate some help, and maybe peace of mind!
