Best Colleges I Could Get Into?

We Answered:

You have excellent test scores and great extracurriculars, although your unweighted GPA is a little low. You can try applying to the Ivy League schools since you have the benefit of being an underrepresented racial minority, but also look into liberal arts colleges that have great programs in your intended majors.

creative career advice?

We Answered:

You may be able to get some advice from connexions but seeing as though you are starting uni soon I think it would be best to talk to someone there about your future prospects. Surely if you go to student services or even just ring up the uni you are going to and ask the receptionist who you need to talk to they will be able to pass you onto the right person, most unis have careers advisers. Also, you could try having a look on your unis website and go to the page where your course is outlined, they usually have a section where it tells you what career path is best for your degree. My friend is doing graphic design at the moment, she enjoys it. You could think about architecture? That would mean lots of travelling. You could try and get into freelance designing bu i think those industries are pretty ruthless and if you haven't got a big name/rep behind you then its generally not worth your while. Definately have a chat with someone at your uni though.

good luck with everything =) x

What's the best way to become TEFL certified?

We Answered:

For an entry level job almost any decent TEFL certificate is fine, including those from online providers. You might want to check out www.teflcoursereview.com to see what people say about different providers.

There is no need to pay 1,000+ for a course; a good online course will cost you 265 and you will likely end up working alongside teachers who've paid more.

Of course once you've taught for a few years you might want to go higher and study more in-depth, perhaps a CELTA or MA, for example, but to begin with a basic TEFL certificate is fine.
