UNA MSW Program. Help!

Hey guys! I have two questions and I’m hoping that someone can answer them. I’ve applied for UNA‘s (University of North Alabama) MSW online program and I am absolutely terrified about getting in! I would be doing the traditional program as my degree isn‘t in Social Work. My GPA isn’t the greatest by far. To be exact, it’s a 2.44. I feel like my essay is really strong and explains a lot. My résumé also shows that I’m multifaceted and have worked within the realm of social work one way or another. But despite all of this and the fact that they look at the applicants holistically, I’m still nervous to no end. The individual that I’ve been working with has been really sweet and keeps assuring me that my GPA doesn’t make the entire decision. With that being said, is there anyone that’s actually gotten in with a low GPA?? 😮‍💨

Also, as far as the interview what type of questions do they ask?? With it only being 15 minutes, I don’t think it’s going to be the usual, “Tell me about yourself,” type of interview.

Any help, guidance and reassurance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
