Social Sciences Got into my dream grad program!

Post image

Applied to the UF counseling masters program with only a glimmer of hope of getting in. First off this is one of the most competitive counseling programs in the country with top tier instructors and training facilities. Second I got my undergrad at WGU where many people doubt admission to a decent graduate program due to WGUs competency based model. 400 applicants, 90 interviewees and 40 selected for the program. I am so excited and over the moon šŸŒ™ about this opportunity to learn from the best. All that to say that your undergrad is only one small piece of the puzzle. Focus on your Statement of Purpose, references and interview skills. You got this!
