  1. Thank you for responding... The reason why I am going directly to grad school, is funding; my grandmother who is helping pay my undergrad tuition plans on helping me with my MSW. I am very interested in helping people, and volunteering at the women's shelter has opened my eyes into the career. I also plan on volunteering at a homeless shelter Saturday nights, and I am trying to get two research opportunities relating to my women's studies major. I really want to go to U Penn or NYU so I really need to do as much as possible to make my self qualified.
  2. Dear Reader, I'm currently a senior graduating May 2014 with a dual degree in Law and Women's Studies. I'm interested in getting my masters in social work, however I'm puzzled as to how I can make myself stand out from the vast majority of individuals applying for the MSW. I thought that I could post on here to get advice from accepted individuals in the MSW program. My main questions are: how important is GPA, is there a GPA that is too low? How important are extra curricular activities, such as leadership positions in student organizations? And How important is having volunteering or social work experience? My GPA is over 3.0 but not that much over, but I do have student leadership experience, and I am volunteering at a women's shelter and a homeless shelter. I have a job as an athletics tutor but that's all the credentials I have so far. Can anyone give me tips to make myself stand out?
