<p>Hey, I wouldn't be asking this question if I went to a college with an education department:</p>
<p>Is it possible to get into elite schools of education such as Harvard, Teacher's College, Penn, and Stanford without having done any substitute teaching?</p>
<p>What do schools of education look for besides GPA and GRE's?</p>
<p>Most students in education programs have WORK experience. It also depends on whether you want a Master's or PhD degree. Most students are of nontraditional age (25 and older).</p>
<p>im pretty sure that teachers college requires some sort of classroom experience, but check the website <a href="http://www.tc.edu%5B/url%5D">www.tc.edu</a> to see their admissions requirements. (they have such a wide variety of education specialties!)</p>
<p>I have searched thoroughly the websites of the aforementioned colleges. College Confidential threads tend to have "insider's info," and that was what I had hoped to get out of this. </p>
<p>It seems like, in general, Schools of Education are easier to get into than other graduate programs, no?</p>
<p>i tend to agree, at least at TC</p>
