You can PM me if you have more questions. PS : This thread is for Ph.D programs applications btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torontonian Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I am not applying just yet, but plan on doing that in a few years. Any idea what their GPA cutoffs look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adelaide9216 Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 Usually the minimum is around 3.5 but I would aim a bit higher. Work experience count as well. Torontonian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adelaide9216 Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 The further you advance in your studies in this field, I have a sense that grades become less important (although I wouldn't say they aren't important at all, especially if you want grants and scholarships). At my uni for instance, they take work experience and volunteer experience into account as well. In SW, they generally want "well-rounded" individuals sort of.

cupcake Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Hi There I am seriously contemplating PHD in social work. I just get an extra kick from learning and research that I don't get from practice. However, I feel somewhat caught between two worlds --- practice and research --- and don't want to let go of either. Wondering if people can speak to this -- do you intend on focusing full time on your studies in doing PHD? Or do you plan to be attached to practice while studying. I am also considering life circumstances. Will be in my 30s as a PHD student so financially, it's difficult to give up practice as well. Anyone else have these dilemmas? Thanks!
