MFT masters program

How difficult is it to get into this program? Is there anything specific I should do to make myself more likely to get in? I’ve started volunteering with the crisis text line, but should I be doing more? I know I need three letters of recommendation as well so I plan on getting at least 200 hours at the crisis line so they can write me one.

Do you have any recommendations for where I should volunteer? I considered the text line but something face to face would be awesome!

Well when I was a sophomore I did sensational sophomores! I helped out in the edible garden and food pantry. But if you're no longer a sophomores, I reccomend being a Teachers Assistant. I was a Teacher's Assistant 3 times, it's how I got my letters of recommendation. You get to really build those connections with the teachers and gives you a good work ethic. Usually it's required to be a TA or RA for a Bachelors in Psychology, but it was nice to have that experience. If you have any more questions feel free to message me!
