GREAT NEWS!!!!

I finally learned how to navigate the website of the school I'd like to go to to pursue my MSW. What I found is that I'll be able to apply without any problems. My gpa has been an obstacle for me when I applied to school this past year. Apparently I'll be able to replace my gpa with my 2 yrs (soon to be 3) of paid work experience in social work related employment. I am BEYOND ecstatic. So now I have to gather all of my materials to send in and apply. Letters, transcripts, personal statment, yadda yadda yadda. I'm going to get started on that pretty soon. I don't want to wait last minute. I hope they have rolling admissions. I don't want to wait until the summer to find out if I'm in... even though I just might. Also if I don't get in, they have a post-bacc program for case management even thought that's pretty much what I do now. But I just want to get started in school as soon as possible. I don't want to be out of school another year.

I've been out of school for two years now (will be 3 in a couple of months) and I was only suppose to be off for a year. I got sidetracked by work. I got a job making more money and decided to chill out an extra year. I wanted to be back in school this year but I didn't get in, so I began to research other options. It looks like I'll be moving from the city that I'm currently living in, but that's okay. I'm just ready to be back in school. It's a private school and I haven't ever attended a private school, so this will be very interesting.
