I attend this program Summer of 2008. From their website the school looks amazing, BUYER BEWARE! It is a 100% bait and switch scam. They tell you where the location is then a week before the program starts they change the location and say no refunds what so ever. They tell you a week before you come you must bring your OWN pillow, sheets, comforter and shower towels; If I am traveling 4000 miles I don't wanna have to bring all that crap, if you wanted to have the school get it they would do it for an extra 100 bucks.
When I got to the school there were 150 kids and only 2 people running the whole program, it was so un organized I cannot even explain my frustration with this point. We go to our rooms, which from the website are suppose to be nice but when we find out where they are we have to walk up a VERY steep hill for over half a mile, no AC in the room and it was 90 degrees out with 100% humidity and no wifi and the rooms are comparable to a hostel, it might have even been one!
For breakfast we had toast... I wish I was kidding... But I am not that is all we got for breakfast was TOAST!!! For lunch and dinner we got the same thing everyday pasta and a bottle of water. If you have even one drink of alcohol you will be kick out the program no questions asked, they give you like 15 min to leave (I don't really have an issue with this just a warning). So that is the housing and the food now for the course material.
One word for the classroom material "JOKES". I have never taken any account or anything and everything they taught was a "JOKE" The person in-charge of the whole things sits up there and talks about his experience in banking... Uhh I dint pay 8000$ to listen to you talk about yourself. The first week we did learn some accounting stuff but the rest of the two weeks we learned NOTHING, i wish i was joking but what we learned would not be helpful to ANYONE! The person in charge tells you that you should be humble at all times yet this guys is sooo boastful its not even funny. This person is such a bad teacher again words can not explain it.
They make all these promises and none of them are true, the teachers they promise FALSE, out of class help they promise FALSE, meeting hedge-fund managers and other bankers FALSE, mock interviews FALSE, location FALSE, everything is fake from what the website says DO NOT BELIEVE IT PLEASE!!!
I will say I had a fun time making friends... BUT GUESS WHAT! I dint pay 8000$ to make a few friends... If i took a poll from the 150 people that went this summer 130 people would ask for a refund cause they know they got worked.
Don't believe these people! Even there phone number is fake... Call it... It will direct you to some calling center which is who knows where and then they will forward your number to them to call you back. Its all a joke and a scam that needs to be stopped! I am sorry about my spelling and english as it is not the best!
Do not make the mistake i made and loose 8000$
