I would also suggest looking at schools that offer good funding, if finance is something that is important to you.
I got accepted to Columbia but am probably going to defer it because its just way too expensive for me right now.

@Jordanna - Congrats! I think your admittance to a great program really speaks to the field of social work - excelling in the face of adversity (adversity as defined by a society that expects perfection even though being a human means a yin and yang of experience) - that's what it's all about! rock on!

Hey, Someone may have replied to your post, but I wanted to let you know that you have a wonderful chance. 
My CGPA is 2.83 when I applied to Columbia Social Work (however my GPA in my fourth year was a 4.0 cuz i worked my ass off) & I GOT IN!  So in terms of marks, don't even hesitate! 
 
However, I did numerous internships internationally, and have many research experience and publications and awards. I just really fucked up in my first two years of undergrad so my CGPA suffered. 
 
Those with low GPA's don't lose hope y'all! 

For those who applied to FIFSW & do not have an A average but at least the cut-off, don't be too nervous. The staff at FIFSW has told me that they've rejected A students at times and have accepted B students because they had experience or great letters of recommendation
