DO NOT GO TO BROWN MACKIE... they are a joke! In order to get a signature that is needed in order to take the national board exam we were told to ask the teacher they fired so now my fate lies in the hands of the teacher they "let go of". It has been a week and I still haven't received anything and when asked if they had a back-up plan for if she doesn't sign it the response was we can ask some other people maybe, we will figure something out. That is what this whole experience has been nothing more than a huge mess and fly by the seam of their pants "figuring things out" and full of lies. This school is not worth the 30 grand you will be spending.... we were asked if we would be interested in doing a review because they screwed us over so bad, but that optional review has now turned into mandatory week long 9-5 which they gave us one week notice about and oh by the way you can't miss any of it or they are refusing to pay for the 500 dollar test which was always part of the contract we signed when we started this school. Unless you want to go through nothing but pure hell, and teach yourself (because that is all that you will be doing) DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL. In a year and 4 months we went through 5 teachers, 2 deans, 3 fieldwork coordinators, and never had a program director... ask yourself if this seems like its going to be a good education when they can't even keep their employees. They are nothing more than con artists they know how to get your money and then cover their tracks with lies and it doesn't matter how high you take your complaints nothing comes of it, they Dean wont even call you back or answer your questions, she has her "secretary" do it. Good luck if you decide to ignore the reviews... we did too thinking maybe things had changed, but we experienced everything all the horrible reviews said and more.
