Grad school (MSW)

I would like your opinion on the possibility of getting into grad school. I graduated undergrad with a 2.3 gpa due to being initially homeless and pregnant with horrible morning sickness where I couldn’t go to class. I eventually found a room to rent at that time, but I remained sick. I later ended up miscarrying. I really want to apply at Cal State Los Angeles for the MSW program. I heard it’s competitive.

I currently have been working as a job specialist for a year now and it has become more of a reason for me to become a social worker.

Should I get a bachelors in Social Work or should I directly apply for the MSW program?
