  1. I agree with this. While it seems that the general rule is to be concise, it is really important that applicants make sure they understand what each specific program wants. My program required the essay to be 6-10 pages double-spaced. They also had a very specific resume template they wanted applicants to use and stated that it should be as thorough and detailed as possible. I had to contact them, because thorough and detailed do not go along with my standard conception of a resume, but they told me that they wanted as much depth as I could give them, so that they could gather a better understanding of my experience and they stated that resumes for their program were generally at least 3 pages. On the other hand, most of the programs that I researched had much shorter requirements, if they specified length. This is something that applicants should be careful about, because it is better to give the specific program what they want rather than assuming they will want the lengths that seem to be more standard. If a program doesn't specify page length, it doesn't hurt to contact them, just to get a better idea of what they are expecting.
  2. Hi! I will also be attending Smith in June (for the 27 month MSW as well). I was just accepted today and am so excited right now that I'm pretty much bouncing off the walls. I will definitely be attending. Staci
  3. I will be attending Smith. It isn't much of a decision for me, because it was the only program that I applied to. I have been completely in love with their program for the past 3 years and I am completely over the moon excited to be attending.
  4. Congratulations on Smith! I'm still waiting to hear back from them (I had an interview on Thursday and they told me I'd hear really soon so I just have to wait and see). They have another financial aid form that you have to fill out in addition to the FAFSA. This is the link: https://www.smith.edu/ssw/geaa/finaid_app.php Hope that helps!
  5. I was deferred today and am going to interview with a faculty member next week. How was your interview? What kinds of things did you talk about?
  6. I did! It is the only program I am applying to (at least as of right now), and I really hope I get in. I am really excited by how quickly we find out too, now I just need to stop thinking about it for the next month.
