<p>More than the simple fact that he wants to be a teacher, his reasons and aspirations will help his admission chances. During one of the SESP student meetings, we were told that Admissions officers selected applicants who are interested in and passionate about educational reform and community development. Your son could talk about that stuff in his essays.</p>
