How to write a top notch MSW personal statement

Helping future social workers get accepted to their dream Master of Social Work programs.

MSW program applications are holistic, and we know that it’s possible to get accepted even if you have a low GPA, no formal social work experience or are making a career change.

89% of our applicants got accepted to competitive MSW programs last year.

Our team of MSW graduates and social workers understand the unique nuances of the social work profession. Through our personal statement editing services, we’ll help you integrate your experience, knowledge and goals in a thorough and cohesive manner. We’ll dissect things are unclear, make sure you're integrating social work lingo, and make your writing polished.

What people are saying

“Michelle is AMAZING! I honestly can not say enough about her and her services. I remember I was so stressed out writing my personal statements for graduate school. I wasn't feeling confident, and didn't know where to start. I did my best and Michelle gave amazing feedback that got my brain working. She helped me fix wording issues. She is 10000000000% worth every penny to review your personal statement. By the time I was done working with her, I felt confident sending in my personal statement instead of nervous. I got into both of my top schools. She went above and beyond. If you are feeling stuck or want feedback on your personal statement, I highly recommend her!”

I cannot thank you enough for your help with my personal statements! Your edits/ feedback on my writing and overall encouragement boosted my confidence throughout the process.

FAQ

  • How does this work?

    When you submit your order, you’ll be prompted to email your documents and we will deliver your documents with my feedback via email. If you signed up for the writing workshop, you'll have instant access.

  • What if I have more than one personal statement?

    There is often a lot of overlap between personal statements, even if the requirements differ slightly. For that reason we suggest starting with one personal statement, and see how you feel after that. We are more than happy to edit multiple personal statements otherwise, and each discount after your first one will be discounted by $20. A discount code will be provided to you after you purchase your first personal statement.

  • What do you mean by edit and critique?

    We take a look at what you wrote and ensure that your experience and skillset connects with what the schools of social work are looking for in a cohesive and thematic manner. We'll dissect things that are unclear, make sure you're integrating social work lingo, and make your writing polished. We also do light editing for grammar and spelling. That said, our hope is that the draft you send in has already been proofread by you ahead of time. We want to make your final draft the best it can be and catch mistakes you may have missed! The goal is to make it perfect.
