MSW SOP review - a desperate plea

[mswgal]

Anyone willing review my personal statement to Hunter college? I'm interested in mental health/healthcare practice. I could really use another pair of eyes from someone in the profession so this would be a huge help!!

I'm not "in the profession," but if you're open to suggestions, consider:

 

1.  Reading this - http://www.uni.edu/~gotera/gradapp/stmtpurpose.htm

 

2.  If you have time, try this book - http://www.amazon.com/Graduate-Admissions-Essays-School-Choice/dp/1580088724

 

I bought a used version for a penny.  Or, there's a new version - http://www.amazon.com/Graduate-Admissions-Essays-Fourth-Edition/dp/1607743213

 

3.  Some social workers on Reddit seem helpful....maybe try contacting the people who responded in the following:
