<p>Hello....</p>
<p>My D wants to teach secondary math in FL. We are in La. </p>
<p>So, we are deciding whether she should go to school in LA where it would be cheaper, and for her to move to FL to teach after graduation, and transfer/apply for certification there, possibly get a master's in FL.</p>
<p>OR if she should go to school in FL, automatically get certified, make connections, but have higher debt...</p>
<p>I see that FSU is changing its program to FSU Teach which offers a dual degree. It seems that most FL schools don't get Ed majors in classroom until Jr. year??? Is that correct?</p>
<p>I'm also wondering which FL schools might possibly offer OOS tuition waivers and/or scholarships for high achieving students??</p>
<p>My D is currently a sophomore, so we are starting early, but here are her current/projected stats:</p>
<p>Unweighted GPA=4.0
ACT = 26 (taken as freshman with no prep, will take again)
PSAT =192 ( " " " )
Will take SAT this year</p>
<p>4 Years of Honors/Gifted English (1 AP)
6 Years of Honors/Gifted Math (3 AP -- Calculus AB & BC, Statistics)
4 Years of Honors Social Studies (2 AP -- US History & Psychology)
4 Years of Honors Science
2 years of Spanish (possibly 3 if works with senior year schedule)
4 Years of Symphonic Band, Talented Theatre, Dance </p>
<p>Beta Club, National Honor Society, Drama Club, Dance Team
Currently Treasurer of Beta Club, plans to take more leadership roles as she progresses
Jr. volunteer with Local Hospice</p>
<h2>Assistant Student Teacher at local Dance Studio</h2>
<p>I know the cutoff for NMSF in LA was 210 last year, jumping 3 points from previous year. We realize making that cutoff will automatically open more doors for her, but wondering what else can she do to gain admission and qualify for merit scholarships.</p>
<p>Many thanks to anyone who can provide info!</p>
