I have been waitlisted at USC but may be more likely to get in if I opt for the San Diego campus, which is actually in Rancho Bernardo. Does anyone know about this area? I am a recent college grad, but it seems to be more of a family town. Is this the case? How close is it to San Diego?

Does anyone know how long schools with rolling admission take to get back? EEK!

I want to be an individual counselor/therapist for people mental health and addiction, work in a center, but eventually have a private practice. What is the best degree to get if I want to do this?

USC, UCLA and UCBerkeley would be my top choices, but not sure if I am qualified. I have had internships and volunteer experiences the past three summers and always volunteer during the school year as well. I know I will have great recommendations but I am nervous about the GPA cut off. I have just over a 3.0 for my overall GPA, but a 3.4 for my major classes. Those schools all have a 3.0 cutoff so I am not sure how thoughtfully I will be considered. What do you think?

I am from the East Coast but looking to apply to MSW programs in California. Does being out of state make a difference in the application process?

I am from Connecticut and applying to MSW programs in California and have the same questions as you. How do you know which programs are better, or even achievable?
