Admission to a BSW program is a significant stage of professional development for social work students. Thus, the purpose of this study is to learn how social work students experienced selective admission in an undergraduate program and the roles of faculty to support students during the admission process. I conducted focus groups and interviews with 24 students and alumni for a stakeholder analysis of admission to a baccalaureate social work program. Students described three types of personal responses to BSW admission: (a) stress and anxiety, (b) deepened commitment to the social work profession, and (c) a strong sense of accomplishment. In addition, students' expectations of faculty during the admission process were (a) advising students, (b) mentoring students, (c) connecting students to the social work program, and (d) gatekeeping for the profession. Findings may guide social work educators as they carry out admission practices and incorporate strategies to meet students' needs.
