I am going to be a Junior this fall in highschool which basically means it is time to start looking for colleges
but honestly I don't even know where to start. Like i really don't know much about any college anywhere because well i don't follow college sports or anything to familiarize me with anything.
I know right now i can basically get into any school minus Like harvard (i have a gpa between 3.6- and 3.9 somewhere)
In the next few weeks my mom and I are going to some local schools around Pittsburgh Pa but outside of here i don't know of any schools!
I want to major in Elem. Ed. I think or something around that feild if that helps.
So basically my question is can someone give me some info -background- advice on any good schools for want to be teachers! i would prefer someone who acually knows about the school and not just researched it!

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
3.6 might not get you as far as you'd like, unfortunately.
USC (University of Souther California-private), CSUN (Cal State Universite at Northridge-public), and ASU (Arizona State University) are all really good schools for education majors.
www.collegeboard.com is a great website which I highly recommened.

I also am going to be a junior and want to be an elementary school teacher. I got tons of information from colleges after I took the PSAT (practice SAT) and the PLAN test (practice ACT). I looked through the info I got from colleges and none were from the Pittsburgh area, but I had tons of info on colleges in New York. I have info on New York University...go to www. nyu-info.org and info on the University of Rochester...go to www.enrollment.rochester.edu/admissions. I have more info on colleges all around the US that have courses for ele. education. If you want more info just email me at lipglossash@aol.com and I'll send you all the info I have.

princetonreview.com is really good. you just register then you get access to thousands of schools with descriptions of everything you can imagine about the school. it's amazing. they tell you about the school's admission process, what tests are required to get into that school, gpa, extracurriculars..ect. registering is free. and they also let you practice the SATs and ACT. =]]]

Viila Julie in MD is good, that's where I went and I know a lot of education majors flock there. Let me tell you something though, if you don't have an inherant preference, then just apply to a lot of places in your area (that have your desired major) and then attend the school that give you the most money.

the best way to find the right school for you is to research yourself. no one can tell you the right school for you! i would suggest going to this wonderful website i used my senior year... it helped and works wonders.

There are many good schools for your educational needs.
One school in particular I know about is Saint Xavier University on the South Side of Chicago. The University is 160 years old and is a liberal arts institution founded by the Sisters of Mercy. The school also has many different public and private elementary schools for which you can student teach. SXU is known for its Nursing and Education departments! It is also very easy to get your Masters there too!
For more info, look at www.sxu.edu
Good Luck!
