SeriousSillyPutty thanks !!!

Thanks for your replies... What should I do to increase chances of getting admitted in these universities?

Hi This is amazing website and I'm happy that I'm asking to you people, who respond based on true experience and understanding of the field, admission trends etc. What I am: an engineer from India with good academic scores very much active in co-curricular activities as a leader or manager during education Now: working in an educational institute as a coordinator (~Administrative officer).- youngest staff member This experience: approx 9 months and will last till I get admission into a graduate school Past experience: working in IT and Electronics industry for 1 year GRE, TOEFL: Scheduled after a month. Area of interest: Higher education administration, International education Willing to apply for: Masters, Ed D , Ph D programs What I need to know: I know I am suitable for Masters program than doctorate. But doctorate will be a comprehensive thing for my career. I don't have Masters but funding will be a serious concern for me, hence trying to concentrate on doctorate programs. What chances do you see that I'll be accepted at Harvard/Peabody/Oxford/UPenn/UMich or Mich State/ Penn State? What should I do to increase the chances? [*]Should I expect funding? Does it 'happen' in such cases? [*]Is doctorate 'too advanced' option for me? If so, will Masters degree offer me a good job? [*]Bottom line: [*]I have changed my career after 1 year of experience and now, I'm as young as 24. The only thing to support: I am passionate about my career in HE and have done remarkable things at work. All in all, I am little anxious and I need some basic information, evidence as a support to my career path.

I am a prospective candidate for Graduate School of Education. While selecting universities, I found a conspicuous discrimination made my most of the international applicants: Private Univ vs Public Univ Looking for reputation, prospects and other merits of a graduate program, I found private universities far better than public universities, with few exceptions. What's your opinion? Is ''state funding'' or ''affordability'' the only unique characteristic of a public university graduate program? Do education programs differ significantly between public and private universities? If so, can they be categorized?
