Maine College of Health Professions

My Son and I visited today, as he is a HS Senior and is passionate about entering the medical field. We were warmly welcomed by Tammy who sat with us, was attentive, kind, informative, listened to all of my and my Son's questions, and presented a lot of very valuable insight and information in to their curriculum and processes. We had a nice, casual tour of the facility (which is beautiful corner to corner, top to bottom) meeting other staff, students, and instructors. We came away excited about the possibility of my Son potentially attending, but more so, we came away very impressed by the care, professionalism, and warmth we were shown by every single person that we interacted with. I'd leave 10 stars if I could.

Unfortunately, I found Tammy in admissions to be very discouraging. While she is trying to be upfront, she was very vague about the questions I had and just kept pushing that I couldn't work and do school... That I wouldn't be successful if I did. While I appreciate the honesty, that seemed to be her main focus. I wanted information about classes, scheduling, financial aid etc... Outside of school is for me to worry about. I wanted to make sure I was making the best decision which in turn was hard to do because my questions were brushed off or barely answered and the main focus was my ability to complete the course. I really just wanted information about the above and so I could decide what was the next best steps for me but I was really just shot down from the moment I picked up the phone call. I don't expect sugar coating but I expected my questions to be answered. When spending that type of money it's the least that could have been done. Ive heard such great things about this school. My friend graduated from here and also went back to get her bsn. She highly recommended this school to me. But, first impressions are everything and the impression I got today was not a good one. I ended the call discouraged and feeling like I wasn't meant for this.

I don't go here, but my wife does, and she loves it!
