Dr. Dawson…thank you for your videos. They have helped me tremendously and after taking your pointers on writing a DSW personal statement, I’m now admitted to the University of Alabama. Keep the videos coming. Thank you!
I Love both of you all’s videos! They were a big help as I applied to programs. I decided to apply to the Ph.D. in Social Work program at The University of Texas at Arlington. I begin in the fall. 😁
@@aundraea1 thank you and congrats!!! They’re fortunate to have you! Wishing you all the best, and if you feel led to, document it, even if it’s just for you! It’s a time you won’t want to forget!
@@DonzellLampkins Thank you so much! Such kind words…I appreciate it. ❤️ So true, I think I well…thanks for the suggestion. Wishing you continued success and blessings! Take care!
Hi!! I was in the very 1st dsw class at UK & in the first year, there was no teaching track, so that’s why In the first year my specialization was leadership. However, in the second year when they offered the teaching track, I switched to teaching because I knew I wanted to teach.
Hey Alicia. I am so super thankful to find these videos. I am in the midst of applying for this exact program through UK. I know you are insanely busy but is there anyway on the planet you would have time to look over my DSW personal statement? I don’t know anyone in the program and was YouTubing it for help and found you! Thanks! And good luck with the rest of your program! :)
Hi Ashley! Thank you for watching!! Good luck on your application process. I am okay with looking over your statement for you! Can you email it to me at therapistbae@yahoo.com
@@ashleykillion9561 Omg! Would you mind giving me some pointers or sharing your experience with me? I am going to be applying in the next couple of days.
Upon applying for the DSW program, did you already take your social work exam? If not do you think you can make it to academic levels with taking the exam?
I did take the exam but you don't need to in order to be admitted or even to succeed. Your success in your program is going to be dependent on your own work experience as a social worker and also on your work ethic to get the assignments and capstone done in a timely fashion.
Can you talk about the pros and cons at a PWI in Kentucky? I was recommended by someone for the school of University of Kentucky and I am from Texas. Is the town diverse ?
Hi there. Historically, Lexington, Ky is not a diverse town. However, within the last 10 years it has emerged a lot and there has been a rise in more minority graduates like myself. Every black person I know who has went to UK has l liked it! If you are from Texas though, it may be a culture shock for you because they are no where near as diverse lol but that shock is going to come with any PWI you consider...
Congratulations on completing one year! Hey I am looking into this program, currently writing my personal statement and stuck on one of the questions is there a way you can help me please?
Completing an application for UKs DSW program and let's just say... I'm a bit confused about the reference page in the personal statement haha, who or what am I citing about me though?!
Would you recommend uk? How research heavy versus clinical practice heavy? I'm looking to do online and looking at some of my options. I definitely suck at research LOL so trying to find one that is more practice heavy as generally dsws are but you'd be surprised. Do you find that the professors are helpful as well?
Here's my capstone presentation video you all :) ruclips.net/video/yclMfMcB0F8/видео.html

Well hello again Stacey! lol thanks for watching! Hope all is well!
Amazing video ! What made you choose the leadership pathway opposed to the teaching pathway ?
Hi!! I was in the very 1st dsw class at UK & in the first year, there was no teaching track, so that’s why In the first year my specialization was leadership. However, in the second year when they offered the teaching track, I switched to teaching because I knew I wanted to teach.
Thanks for sharing…I read UK’s DSW has a concentration in CLINICAL SOCIAL WORK 💚So I’m seriously considering this institution…research in progress.
Hi! Yes, they sure do :)
Wow, love this video.

@@yourfavalicia I’m feeling motivated to start my DSW journey but I have questions.
Do you have a Capstone Project video? How is it different from a dissertation?
Yes here it is:
