Not entirely sure I get your question, but here is a stab at it. There really isn't one best school, and choosing a school is really partly a match between you and the college. All other things being equal, though, you want to go to the most prestigious college/university possible. This isn't meant to be "elitist" but I do think that having a great academic pedigree gives you more options about where you are likely to be hired to teach later on as a professor.

well, not all the time. I had a cousin on my mothers side that worked for a state college in Virgina. She had some connections and was pushing the admissions office to let me in. my sat's were low so they said i had to take them again. I had already took them twice and a few practice ones. I never took them again and ended up going to a better college somewhere else. But the her college never rejected or admitted me. they just wanted me to redo the sat's. so she helped me but it was not a sure yes.

You should research the schools to find out what your chances are. Most school websites give information about their acceptance rates, diversity break down and what areas their students come from. You can see which of the categories you fit into.\n\nBut if you know you meet all their requirements, you should know that you have a chance of getting in. It's also good if you show a record of balancing extracirricular activities with school. Community service is also a plus, but they'll be able to tell if you do it at the last minute just to get into their school.\n\nGood luck!

No, there is nothing bad about going to an "Alternative" School. In fact, it is usually quite good. Alternative schools generally provide alot better life skills training and are generally better in studies as they are more focused.

It depends on where you plan on attending and the amount of classes that you plan to take. You need to research the schools that you may be interested in attending for more information.

It depends on your school or university. Most often there is a system that your own school has in place on its website.  Without knowing where you go to school. it is impossible to tell.

I just transferred from a small private university to a large community college and there is a very large difference. The biggest benefits with a larger campus is the wider range of classes that are available, but in turn you sacrifice the personal relationship with the professors (although anonymity is an asset at times) and less opportunity for questions to be answered due to larger class sizes.  The tuition is cheaper, but you will quickly notice fewer high quality professors and students along with a poorer work ethic. This is just personal experience.  The university I attended was one of the top in the US so our local community college could not hope to compete. I miss the university a lot.  However, I imagine that if you transferred to a larger university with a good reputation, then you might not loose as much quality as I did.

Popularity does not necessarily mean quality.\n\nThe only way you child will feel inferior for not attending a "rich kids" school is if YOU teach him to feel inferior about it. Most people never attended such schools, and feel perfectly fine about themselves.\n\nYou want to look for quality instruction, not "image," for his childhood schooling. If he gets quality of instruction, he will be able to attain high enough marks and scores on college admission tests, to be invited to attend colleges and universities that DO matter... Ivy League, or non-Ivy League but an extremely strong program in the career field he ends up interested in. It is at the university level that both the quality of the program AND the image of the college really matters for social status and future job prospects.\n\nLook closely at a variety of private preschools, including those catering to middle class clients. Look for quality... do they provide academic learning through play? Are the children engaged in guided activities through most of the day? Does the school respond to the child's individual developmental levels, both for those that need more time and those that have advanced quickly?\n\nI attended public school, and scored well enough on my college enterance exams to be offered full scholarships to two Ivy League and several other prestigious universities. My mother carefully "shopped"  by evaluating the available teachers each year and had me placed with the best ones in each school I attended. Due to a number of factors (one of which was that I was only 14 years old at the time I took my college enterance exams), it was decided that I would stay close to home, but I did get the offers.

I teach in a boarding school, but I do not live there-- but i can say that teachers do give extra attention at mine, times can be arranged and we have a designated "extra" help period every day.  sports are not optiional at mine and they are every day, but you can choose what you take each term. Can I rec'd. it over public? Well, it is not for every one but I would choose soon as changing in HS is not good on college applications. \n\n--Kim

You do not have to attend that school. If you get into the school you want, notify them (the old school) that you will not be attending ASAP so they can award that money, housing, etc. to someone else. Then begin the package and schedule with the new school. :)

stays the same if you enroll in the same school

Kind of. If you have been out of college for 5 years some colleges allow a forgiveness. This means that all of your grades are gone, including the good and the bad. Check with your schools admission office to see if they offer it there. And yes you can not tell anyone that you attended a certain school but it can come back later to bite you in the butt. Good luck!

I presently have my kids enrolled in an oline charter school. The curriculum is great, but there is a downside if you have more than one child. Since it is a charter school, it is also a "public" school, and thus how it is "free". Because of its being a public school, you have to attend the same amount of hours (per child) as in a bricks and mortar school. So, if you have a child with special needs,etc. that needs one on one help, you may run into a problem meeting the hourly requirements, if you spend more time teaching that child and then have to teach another AFTER that one. They DO track your hours/progress. If your child finishes all their school material for the year, yet doesn't meet the hours required (if they are quick learners), they will still fail based on their attendance..not their work. This is a MAJOR downside in my opinion. However, this is a great choice for schooling one child or multiple children without any learning problems...as you can combine subjects and teach them all at the same time.

Absolutely yes!!! In fact you have lots of options. Check around in your area, or do a country wide search if you want to go away. They will be very open about their GPA requirements. You may not be able to get a merit scholarship but you can get accepted.

Depends on where you live.  Before I used to live in another country, and the public schools there were really bad, so I went to a private school.  But now I've been going to a public one, and it's really really nice.  So again, depends where you live.  Look in the internet for info and visit some schools.
