Macaulay Honors Program-Hunter College--free tuition, free room for 2 years</p>
<p>Our daughter is considering teaching...she wants SUNY Geneseo which would be a good choice for that but so would Macaulay Honors at Hunter...</p>
<p>She is waitlisted at Oberlin and Haverford...a little surprised about Oberlin. She doesn't seem to show any interest in pursuing those...</p>
<p>Try running the numbers through this calculator [FinAid</a> | Calculators | Award Letter Comparison Tool](<a href=“Your Guide for College Financial Aid - Finaid”>Award Letter Requirements - Finaid) so that your daughter has a better idea of how the SUNYs compare to the privates. A lot does depend on how easy it would be for your family to pay the rest of the costs. </p>
<p>Since she is considering teaching, she may want to run the various places past the principal and/or favorite teachers in the grade levels that interest her. They will be able to tell her which institutions produce teachers who are classroom-ready, and which places are most likely to help her get that critical first teaching job. She should make certain that wherever she does choose to study has a program that gets her into the classroom early, and often. That will help her determine whether she really does want to teach or not.</p>
<p>Teaching is an honorable, but not particularly well-remunerated profession. Macaulay for free including housing for the first two years looks pretty good - at least for those first two years!</p>
<p>I have some experience with this…I am a teacher in NYC, which is where she would want to work. In my experience and from that of my peers, it no program produces classroom ready teachers…Hunter (particularly Honors) is well reputed as is Geneseo (just cheaper) I don’t much care for CCNY–am getting my second Masters there. What matters in that first job, I hate to say, is who you know, and to some extent, what you teach…since she is thinking science or math, that, like my SPED license would be marketable. However, if she does not go into teaching, she has not show any leanings toward going into anything that will be…let’s just say, tremendously financially rewarding…I guess she comes from a family of public servants.</p>
