MSW or MPA Do I have a chance?

[redapple1993]

Hi! 

 

I am currently making a list of schools I am applying for Fall 2015. I am applying to two Health Admin Programs and then 4 MSW social work programs. 

I am a bit worried whether I have a chance or not to get into my programs. 

My concern is that my gpa is low (3.1) due to me doing not so hot my first two years( and I have ADHD if that helps with anything) . 
While my gpa is low I have done other things to boost my resume. 

Some of the things include a internship with a mental hospital and I have work in two research labs. 

I have really good letters of rec and then I will have over 200 hours of volunteer work with homeless children. I also have studied abroad
I am also planing to take the GRE just in case my GPA is a huge factor. ( i feel like I would due average on the GRE)

Oh and my major is Psychology with a minor in Business 

 

Well anyways here are the programs I am applying to: 

 

University of Colorado - Denver MBA Health Adm

NYU MPA Program
Portland State University - MSW

Denver MSU - MSW

San Diego State University - MSW 

University of Washington - MSW 

 

Please let me know what you guys think and also any advice or info about the schools would be helpful 

Many thanks!

I think you should definitely try and apply to all of them. Although I have experience with people that are doing the msw program at uw (I'm from Seattle). They have stellar GPA and gre, they accept a decent amount of people I must say but the three people that I know that are in the program has a ugpa 3.7+ and gre around 75%+. Hope this helps!
