Best School of Social Work

<p>Hey everyone, </p>

<p>Does anyone have any advice relating to social work programs? I really want to go somewhere in the East Coast. Maybe Columbia, NYU or Boston. </p>

<p>I live in CA though...So I will probably apply to UCLA, USC and UCB's social work program as well. </p>

<p>ANY advice will help. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>-Amy.</p>

<p>PS: Does anyone know what social work schools are in the top 20 according to US News Rankings? Just curious...</p>

<p>I believe Michigan is the #1 social work school. They are more researched-based rather than clinical-based.</p>
