Hey Sara!

Good for you for writing the SWAT and best of luck! Social work is a a rewarding yet demanding profession. Best advice to give is to read the School's philosophy (it's on the web site) and answer questions through that perspective. Also make sure you're up to date on current social issues. Finally, just be yourself, I graded the SWATs last year and I could tell if people weren't genuine, which is what makes a good social worker. If you have any questions about the program let me know.

Like James said, just be you! Your personality is what will shine through in your writing. If you took 1A06, take what you've learned and apply it in the SWAT. Be confident!
