What is a research internship?

[Adelaide9216]

Hello,

I applied to start a MSW next fall, but was still not offered an acceptance letter. My potential supervisor has already offered me to be a research assistant for her and today, I saw her in the hallway and she offered me the option of doing a research internship. How does a research internship differ from a typical field internship? And does that mean that I am accepted into the program already?

Those sound like questions that should be addressed to your supervisor. I would imagine that if she's talking about assistantships and internships then she thinks you're getting in, but I don't think anyone here can make you any promises. Just ask her what the internship (and assistantship for that matter) entail, and when you might get an official notification.

She said it would be for this summer, full-time and will get back to me with the details in one-two weeks.
