<p>Millersville, Temple, West Chester, Kutztown.</p>

<p>How hard is it to get into the School of Education at Indiana? It looks really promising and I may just apply to it as my last college selection. </p>

<p>I'll be applying with an out of state status, along with a 3.5 GPA and 1250 SAT, and a bunch of other ECs..</p>

<p>Peabody at Vanderbilt is a good program, as brian noted, above. They are one of the education schools that now requires a degree in an academic subject (i.e. not in education) along with the teaching degree, if I am not mistaken.</p>

<p>what state do you live in?</p>

<p>I'm in California...</p>

<p>Vanderbilt is good but I'll never get in, thanks for suggesting though!</p>

<p>Tufts, Northwestern, Vanderbilt</p>

<p>^^</p>

<p>I think NU's school is more education policy. Not sure though.</p>

<p>bump for more responses!</p>

<p>Michigan State.</p>
