5. Here is a cynical, but possibly useful answer.
Edited on Mon May-25-09 09:46 AM by aikoaiko
1. Find out about the scholarly interests of the faculty there -- especially the ones whom you might want as a mentor.

2. Write about one of those interests if you think you can master the material.

3. Show the faculty that you have good writing skills and are thoughtful.

4. Talk to someone who successfully entered a MSW program (especially the one you are applying to) about what makes a good MSW essay. Some program probably welcome "political issues" and others less so. In some social sciences programs a political essay would be put on the bottom of the pile.
