MSW Fall 2025

[grace akin]

Hey everyone! Is anyone else here considering applying for Fall 2025 for MSW programs? I feel kind of lost and nervous about applying. I live in NYC and want to go more towards the clinical route. So far the schools I have in mind are the three CUNYs (Hunter, York, Lehman) NYU and Columbia. Hunter is my first choice right now because of the clinical focus and it’s not that expensive. If anyone has any advice or is in the same boat as me I would love to connect!

Hi! I’m considering applying to some Canadian universities, I’m Italian and I’m not familiar with personal statements, recommendation letters etc so I’m a bit lost too and I’d really appreciate some help! I’m considering applying to Carleton, UofC, Windsor and Lakehead

Hi, folks! I'm going to apply for that intake too and I'm super nervous. I'm brazillian planning to study on Canada, so that's a project that I've been organizing and preparing for years now. It's very important to me and I'm super nervous! 

I just finished the first draft for one of my letters of intent, all following MSW Helper's advices, so that's a big thing! I hope it all goes well to all of us.

MSW Helper was made by Michelle, you can google her website, Instagram and even YouTube channel. She's absolutely amazing and provides resources to get into the MSW program, including videos on how to write the letter of intent and how to best organize your CV. She also has some paid services where she and her team can review what you wrote and things like that. I fully recommend you taking a look!

Her resources have already helped me immensely. Also, she's sometimes active in this forum, so you may see her around!

I'm not going to lie, it just made my day to stumble across this thread and see this. Thank you so much for the kind words! ☺️

I'll definitely be around to answer any questions you have about your MSW application - anyone who is reading this feel free to tag me or send a DM if you need anything.  The MSW Helper website also has a TON of free resources to help your write your MSW personal statement. I highly recommend checking out our webinars, templates, blog, and Facebook group. 

Good luck to everyone this application season!

I finally submitted my applications. Carleton, Dalhousie, and uManitoba's non-BSW stream. Feels good to get it out of the way and just wait now. Can't help feeling anxious about the results, but it's out of my control.

My GPA isn't the most competitive (B+ average) from my last 60 credits. I have about 4000 hours of SW adjacent experience. Most of my experience is from non-profit work (crisis intervention) and the provincial health authority (working in inpatient psychiatric hospital units).

I was raw with my statement of intent and dug into connecting my lived experiences with why I chose clinical SW as a profession. Hopefully, that resonates with the admissions team. Best of luck everyone! February/March feels so close yet so far.
