MA in Teaching + Credential acceptance rates in California?

[gradstudent92]

Hello,

 

I just have a few questions about the MA in Teaching + Credential programs in California. I have scoured the internet for the answers to these questions, but typically how many people apply and how many are accepted to the following universities (USC, UCLA, UCSD, UC Berkeley, UCI, UCD, etc). I have found class profile information for some, but it doesn't really say much about acceptance rates.

 

How much work experience is necessary to even considered competitive? What is weighted more heavily GPA, SOP, or work experience?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hey there! I can't really speak to what factors are considered to be most important in your application, as I'm a fellow applicant myself. However, I have access to the US News information on graduate schools for education, so I can provide you with some statistics on admissions.

 

This information is for all the Master's programs at the graduate schools of education, so keep in mind that these numbers don't just reflect the teacher education programs. But it's better than nothing, right?
