Hello! I graduated 10 years ago with my MSW (concentration in Client Centered Management, so I hade both clinical and administrative course work). My field placement was in an administrative area as was my experience thereafter. However, I did become an LSW in NJ but never pursued clinical work. I am now interested in pursuing clinical social work but I do not know where to begin. I feel quite far removed after these last 10 years, 6 or which I haven't been in the SW field at all. Looking for some guidance!

Hi all, Looking for feedback on why graduate students, you specifically, chose the programs you did for any of the following programs: CSDS/SLP, Audiology, PT, OT, MSW, or Counseling. Could it be because of financials, locations, scholarship/grants, faculty, etc. Any information would help and please feel free to expand from the examples given previously.

Background - College: B.A. Economics GPA: 2.7 A huge part of the low GPA is because of depression in college. I began isolating myself a lot and because of the stigma of mental health in my community I was reluctant to seek help. When I did I was too scared to go back after 1 appointment. I have since taken several courses post under grad (which I aced ) and currently taking graduate level courses and sought therapy. I have learned so much about myself and how to balance work, school and my social relationships. Work Experience: Total of about 3.5 years in Accounting -

Hey there, This is my first time using Grad Cafe, not sure if I'm posting in the right spot but I'm interested to hear from those of you who are applying for an MSW anywhere in Canada in 2018. What kind of work experience is most relevant? I've potentially found a job working in the registration department at the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario screening applicants from prospective therapists - would you say that looks favourable on an MSW application? Thanks for your input!

Hello! I’ve been doing my due diligence and research trying to find MSW programs and schools that have a macro concentration. Specifically with a policy specialization. I’m in NY and have been attending multiple online Information sessions so I could apply by the priority deadlines for Fall 2021. (I will be an Advanced Standing student) Through the postings on here I have read and learned that once licensure is secured, career options mostly depend on field work, volunteer opportunities and how well you’ve networked. I was hoping someone could offer guidance on their decision maki

Hi! Congratulations to all accepted students! I noticed that there's not a Facebook group or anything for those accepted and figured it might be beneficial to create a space to get a conversation going for incoming students. Any information that anyone has regarding orientation and registration dates is much appreciated. Please feel free to post questions or just say hi Looking forward to meeting you all!

Hey ya'll I'm coming up on my senior year in my undergrad program and I'm getting confused on the difference between receiving a MSW versus a LCSW (clinical social work?).. does it really matter which I choose? I do want to be able to conduct psychological testing in my career so that's why I'm considering an LCSW but I'm seeing essentially no graduate programs available in that field. Is there a better option for me in order to become a licensed therapist who can conduct psychological testing? Thanks so much to anyone who can help! Ava

Hi, I am looking to go back to school for an MSW in Fall of 2021, I know I have a long time until applications open, much less need to be submitted, but I am wondering if I should start asking about letters of recommendation now? I graduated from undergrad in 2017 and most of the schools I've been looking into applying to require 1 lor from a professor if you're within 5 years of graduating. I was very close with a few of my professors (went to acting school so it's hard not to be) but, I've totally changed careers since then and I haven't spoken to any of my profs in years. I'm wo

Can anyone please share their impressions of the MSW program for clinical practice concentration at Columbia, NYU, UPenn, UCLA, Chicago, UT Austin and UM Ann Arbor. Perspectives from international students/graduates will be extremely helpful.

Hi everyone, I'm an MSW applicant trying to decide between a few schools. It would help if I had a better idea of the programs reputation and the chance to hear from actual students. One of the programs (WashU) has actually been doing Q/A's on Zoom where prospective students can talk to current students, but thats it. -
Hello, I applied in early January for csula, csuf, csulb and csusb. I applied sometime in mid January for csudh. at csulb they said they could not review my app because after some supplemental deadline. I turned it in before January 15 though. I still have not heard anything else besides my application is in department review. I am getting more and more discouraged everyday because I have not even heard about an interview or anything. This is my second time applying so I don't know what will happen if I don't get in this year.

Hello Everyone, I didn't find a form for CSULB School counseling so i decided to start one. For those who have applied to the program and feel comfortable sharing your stats, please do! Good luck everyone! GPA: 3.15 Internships/Extra Curricular activities: BBBS Org: Mentor | Fullerton College: Higher Education advocate | Orange County Community Housing Corporation: Academic Advisor | Human Services Student Association: Membership Chair I don't have the best GPA and know how competitive it is to get into the program at Cal State Long Beach but i am hoping that my int

I am applying to the MSW program at U of Toronto this year or the September 2021 intake. In particular the 2 year program as I do not have a BSW. The admission requirements state that you need a minimum B+ in your final year, however transcripts are to be sent in by November. I contacted the department and it seems that the admissions will be based last year's grades. Last year I had a health crisis in my fourth year and had to drop some courses. I got to A's, but also a C and a D+. I did well before that year. Anyways, I am doing a fifth year with full course load. I am worried about my poss
