<p>Teacher92, what about doing a search of Jewish publications or calling Hillels where you might want to go? A little more leg work, but it might be worth it. I don’t know about the program (can’t imagine that it does not have teaching), but Pitt has a nice Jewish population and a great Jewish center for kids, shared with CMU and various other schools in the area.</p>
<p>Is UDel a B school? I always saw it as more of a high B+/ A- school but maybe I am wrong.</p>
<p>UDel used to be a B school, but from our highly competitive public hs, it is now a B+/A- school. It has greatly risen in popularity over the past 5-7 years. Our Naviance reveals this, in addition to talking to folks around here.</p>
<p>Yes last year our Naviance had it as a 3.8, and we live in a very strong district. That’s not a B school- UDel must have become more selective in recent years.</p>
<p>UDel does not have a school of journalism nor does it offer a journalism major. It does have a minor within its English Department:</p>
<p>[UD</a> Department of English: Journalism](<a href=“http://www.english.udel.edu/programs/journalism/Pages/default.aspx]UD”>http://www.english.udel.edu/programs/journalism/Pages/default.aspx)</p>
<p>A journalism degree is not the only track to a career in journalism (there’s also English and Communications as a track) but if a journalism major is important as an option, then this might not work for 1214mom.</p>
<p>According to the most recent Common Data Set, 42% of enrolled students at UDel were at 3.75 or above HS GPA. That leaves 58% below that.</p>

<p>SUNY Stony Brook has a journalism program.</p>
<p>Thanks for the suggestions. U Georgia, U Delaware, and Arizona State are on my radar. First child was a 2160 SAT, dual 800s on SAT IIs, 34 ACT, Math/science/engineering kid. Thanks to a good merit scholarship, he is now happily studying math at a private school (RPI - Great school for him so far). Second one is more well rounded in general, but it looks like getting him into and through school may cost me more. As I’m sure many of you know already, many privates cane cheaper than out of state publics, if you get a good scholarship.</p>
<p>University of south carolina has great journalism school and many scholarships give an OOS tuition waiver as part of package making it very reasonable cost. Brand new business school under construction with top rank international business program.</p>
<p>Quick Elon update - new chapter of Jewish fraternity ZBT is officially on campus, with about 30-35 initial members, including S2! They have also been given a small house on Elon’s on-campus Greek Row, and yes, S2 will be living in the fraternity house. It has really been amazing to see the growth in Jewish life at Elon in just the past few years that I have been following this school.</p>
<p>teacher92 - Clark University in Worcester, MA, offers an excellent grad program in education, Master of Arts in Teaching specializing in urban ed.

<p>Excited to share: D2 accepted to University of Texas-Austin!</p>
<p>Woo Hoo, vitrac! She’s got some great choices!</p>
<p>Thanks LINY!! North, South, East, Midwest, hot, cold, big, small, sporty, non sporty, urban, suburban, college town. You get the idea.</p>
<p>Congratulations Vitrac!</p>
<p>Congrats Vitrac! It looks like your D certainly kept her options open. Good luck with the final decision.</p>
<p>RVM: I’m glad things are working out so well for your son at Elon. What great timing on the new ZBT chapter.</p>
<p>Vitrac - congratulations! I can’t wait to see the final outcome.</p>
<p>Hooray for Vitrac’s D! She is going to have make some tough choices come spring…not a bad problem to have.</p>
<p>Teacher92, because teaching is regulated on the state level, it is really best to pursue an M.Ed. in the state in which you would prefer to teach. We can’t really give you useful advice unless you tell us where that may be.</p>
<p>Congrats Vitrac! Hook 'em Horns!</p>
<p>Congrats Vitrac! DS did not get into U Texas, but we are not too upset. I think that he has his heart set on Tulane (me too!), so the official decision is just about made. We are still waiting on Emory and U Delaware, but I don’t think that he will choose those over Tulane at this point. I told him that I need him to make an official decision soon so I can go online and order him a sweatshirt and a coffee mug!</p>
