  1. It depends on where you live... I know some schools offer a program that pays for your tuition as long as you work for the gov for 2 years after you graduate. Its called Title IV-E, you either have to concentrate in child welfare or mental health to be eligible. In california they refer to it as CALSWEC I believe. You can get details from schools website to see if they are offering it, you can also google Title IV-E for details In California they also have a program called IUC where they pay for one year of your education and you have to work for the gov for a year. Hope this helps!
  2. Thank you guys so much for your comments! I will definitely start working on my applications right now! I really appreciate the input. You guys helped to ease my mind about having a different major and GRE score! Congrats on your acceptances to MSW programs I wish you tons of success!
  3. Guess I should add mine 3.2 Bus admin-marketing from UCR relevant experience: 2 year Riverside Area Sexual Assault Advocate 1 year high school sexual assault advocate 6 months mentor to children who's parents were incarcerated 2 years (in progress) Peace Corps Volunteer, Ethiopia small business development other: marketing internship with State Farm co founder of 100 Black College Women of UCR Im nervous because my major is in business, but I do have the min qualifications I haven't applied yet, and I will be taking the GRE in a few months
  4. What was your GPA, BA degree, GRE scores, and volunteer experience? What schools were you accepted to? Im trying to get a general idea of what typical GPAs are
  5. Hello everyone! I have a couple of questions about MSW programs. Thank you for taking the time to read my post! I really like that there is a wide variety of careers available to a person with an MSW (I want to concentrate in children, youth and families) and I'm afraid that participating in the CALSWEC program will limit those options, because my internships and first 2 years job experience may be solely child protective services focused. What are the career options available to those who participate in CALSWEC? Are they limited to solely child protection services? Will being in the CALSWEC program limit my future career opportunities? Like say, in 5 years I decide I want to work with domestic violence? Will this hurt my chances? Im looking at applying to CSULA, Long Beach, San Fran, Northridge, Fullerton, UCLA, and San Diego. Have you heard about the different field work placements? Do they provide a wide realm of field work opportunities? Are they committed to truly fighting the best placement? Or are they just merely trying to stick you anywhere? I graduated from UCR, and after attending a publich school, where so many calsses were cut and concentrations were unavailable, Im afraid of that happening in my MSW program. Has anyone heard of this happening at any of the schools? Any feedback you can give will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
