Don't waste your time. The students don't want to be there and the medical world of Atlanta doesn't want to hire them.
As a former instructor I can tell you first hand stay clear for GMI. This place has gained a very poor reputation in Atlanta. The students are offered everything to sign up because the admission rep work on commission just likes a used car salesmen. As long as they walk in with a heartbeat they are admitted into a class. The school does next to nothing to test or screen the potential student. As like any business the bottom line is money. They do spend thousands on advertising and targeting those that could never make it in a real college.
The truth is 90% of the students are court ordered to be in a school in order to avoid not losing their government housing and food stamps. The probation officers place another 5% there in order to keep them off the streets. That leaves a small 5% that are truly there to seek the training in the medical field because they want to work with patients. I felt sorry for they last 5% that had to face the inherited bad attitudes of the other students, which really don't want to be there.
Students are pushed through the courses that have no business advancing to anything, until the end result of graduating. As result the job placement rate is a joke, less then 3% actually gain a job. Because of this and other problems GMI lost their accreditation more then once. The turn over rate is just as high with the administration and teaching staff. At one point they had 4 presidents in 3 years. Take the time to explore all options elsewhere.
