Guide to Selecting and Applying to Master of Social Work Programs, Fourth Edition

The book was a very easy read, but with many great resources and suggestions for figuring out concentration areas, the supplemental statment, and even in reminders on common courtesy one might forget in the midst of anxiety.

This book was a great resource for me. Although you still need to put in all the work, this author gives someone with little other guidance a great outline for the process. I recently was admitted to a top MSW program and my book shows it...dog-eared, bent, highlighted...well worth the money.

My wife is looking at where she wants to get her MSW, and this book was a tremendous help! It does a great job of explaining the process, as well as providing valuable reference information.

As an undergraduate preparing to apply for graduate school, I was frustrated with the lack of material about social work programs. This book has so far been my most useful purchase concerning my application to grad school. It contains an informative general section about MSW programs, and then breaks down the admission and application process so that it is clear and understandable. There are also charts in the back to help monitor your application progress. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is buried under MSW paperwork and needs some direction and clarity in applying to schools.
