ah yes good point.. I was referring to a teaching position in a K-12 school for someone coming out of Grad School with a masters..

I think maybe what i am trying to ask is would it be more significant to an employer if you're applying (for a teaching position) with an ivy league degree rather than one from Vanderbilt although Vanderbilt is ranked higher? This question could really be applied to any field.

Hello everyone! i just read the US news top graduate school for education.. TOP 5.. 1. Vanderbilt- Peabody 2. Harvard 2. UT- Austin 4. Stanford 4. Teachers College, Columbia U. All of these schools are obv. great for education but is US news really a reliable source for this sort of ranking? I may be a little bias because I am going to TC but I don't know how UT-Austin jumped from tenth to tie with Harvard. And I know that Vanderbilt is a great school and has a great ED. program but does anyone feel that when being interviewed for a job the employer will think higher of you if say you're applying with a degree from Harvard or Columbia-TC even though Vanderbilt has a better program? (according to US news) so yeah i was just wondering what peoples opinions on these rankings were...

thanks and congrats to you as well! sent you a PM

No info in regards to funding... i have been accepted to NYU as well... TC was my first choice so im def. going ha

hey thanks! i got my acceptance on March 1. But the letter was marked feb 27. good luck! and just because I have noticed alot of people asking for admits stats.... GPA: 3.92 no GRE's- one summer research experience- and 2 years tutoring in urban schools- i think my experience truly helped me out considering most people applying to TC have high GPAs and test scores... good luck

Hi all i received my acceptance letter from NYU on March 1 for their Master of Arts in Social Studies program... the letter was sent to my house Via postal mail from them on Feb. 22

I found this post on here while randomly searching for TC and figured it would be cool to give it a new life!! so, I was accepted to TC ( Master of Arts in Teaching Social Studies) did anyone else get accepted yet? and what are you living situations?

I am def. surprised that i found out so early... i randomly checked the applyyourself site and a new option appeared titled "admission decision". I guess just keep checking the site because i have yet to get an email actually telling me to look at the site ha

Hello guys, i just heard from both NYU and TC today. Im in for both schools... check your applyyourself account on TC's site. That's where my decision was posted..

Oh ok thank you! Yeah i applied to Social Studies Ed. My GPA is above a 3.5 so hopefully all goes well. Thanks for sharing your GPA and good luck im sure you will get in!

hey guys, did anyone else get an email regarding fasfa and scholarship deadlines today? thanks btw @ gradschool do u mind sharing your stats? nothing too personal just GPA. I also feel as if i may be waitlisted.

Hello everyone! Im considering NYU for the fall of 2011. I know of the reputation that comes with NYU, and i also read in the US news that Steinhardt ranked #16 among education programs. However, i just wanted to get the opinions of some people off the site as to how good NYU actually is. thanks everyone!

haa thanks for all the great replies guys..

thank you! yeah im applying for social studies ED. programs.its only a few comma mistakes in the PS so it shouldnt be too much of a hassle for them..
