I have recently expressed interest in SB's Cardivacular Sonagraphy program. I have had enough bad experiences to research a school I would like to attend. So far, this school is not impressing me at all. I spoke to a representive (Crystal) at the Boston site. I let her know right of the bat that I did not wish to waste either of out time. I was certain this program was something I wanted.

And I asked her " How many credits does one need to qualify for this program?" Easy question right? Her response: "What do you mean?" I don't have that information in front of me right now." My 2nd question; "Is your program accredited be the CAAHEP?" Her response; "I couldn't tell you there is no one here to answer that for me right now." Right off I see from her short snappy responses that this is not someone who is either qualified for her job or adequate customer service skills even to work at...I don't know say...MCDONALDS!!!!

I agreed to meet with her next week just because I am ready to make a change in my finacial situation and realize that I need a an degree fast! I am going to go armed with some of the reviews on this site. I agree with one thing, and thats you get out what you put in! It sounds pricey but I'm willing to do it.

run away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The lies began as soon as i walked in the door. Admission lied to me about everything. They said my credits would transfer and that school would only cost me 11,000. In the end im stuck paying 15,000 back! NO school will take my credits because sanford brown is a curse! I've had NO help from them in finding a job, that they promised! No employer will hire me because of sanford brown! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!!!!!!!

Horrible horrible horrible

I was very excited to start school and start a new life. Sanford Brown made it seem like I would fly threw school and get a job right away. It has been nothing but problems. I am all done with my classes and I have started my clinical but they have made it very difficult to complete my program. Very money hungry school. They don't care about the students what so ever.

Wasted $$$ on this school!

I just wanted to say that I just completed the Associate of Applied Science Medical Assisitng program at Sanford-Brown College in Mclean, VA. I have to say that i received a 4.0 GPA and still no job. I had so many problems when I dealt with my externship because the office could not get the timesheets right when I faxed or e-mailed them. I never understood why the personnel dept will call you about being out of class 1 day because I could not get to class because my commute to my externship site to the school was almost 1 hour. Called me for that?

Now, they do not tell you about the expense of the externship that is posted on your student account which is more than the tuition itself. When I had my exit interview and had a balance on my account the financial aid office gave me information on taking more classes for medical billing & coding. I am still paying for the 2 year loan for the school now worth too much....$28,000, down the tubes. I have no job and a lot of debt. Their television ads say it all - we cannot guarantee you a job or salary. They do no not tell you about the loans and debts to them you have to pay and the harassment. Thanks for nothing!

Should have gone to El Centro

I have been a student here at Sanford Brown College for 6 months now and this place is a joke! The entire staff runs around not know whats going on. They spend more time trying to figure out who's doing what or what they are supposed to be doing and no one really worries about the students.

Now the admission staff is VERY misleading because they will make you believe this place is amazing. But seriously what was I thinking?

The first floor of this "school" building is a bank, the 3 floors abouve it are continuouly under construction (which is very loud and heard in EVERY classroom), and then there are a few floors designated for classes. Don't make the same mistake I did! Go to El Centro instead!!!! They are WAY cheaper and a much better school!!! This place is RIDICULOUS!!!!
