I start school tomorrow at ATI Career Training Center. My tuition supposedly is $18,360. Financial Aid gave me $2600. Student Loans gave me $7657. According to ATI's math, $5668 is not covered by Financial Aid and needs to be covered by Plus Loan or cash payments (if you do the math, there is actually $2435 that wasn't included...don't know why). When I asked about the cash payments, they gave me 4 plan options with a note that said "Cash payments are interest free"
Plan 1- Pay in full
Plan 2- 4 quarterly (every ten weeks) payments of $1414 equally..... 1414x4=5656...not $5668 which is what im suppose to be paying.
Plan 3- 10 payments of 566.80......566.80x10=$5668 (what im suppose to pay)
Plan 4- 15 in-school payments of $75 and 44 out-of-school payments of $147.91 >Approximately.
15x75=1125 44x147.91=6508.04 6508.04+1125=$7633.04
I would be paying $1965.04 extra if I do Plan 4.
Is it me that is not understanding what's going on or is it the lady that is doing all this Financial Aid thing wrong? After I pay $5668, I still need to pay the $7657 for the Student Loan, plus the interest.
Not only that, but on their contract, it seems to me like they made an error, It reads "THE PARTIES SHALL BEAR THEI R OWN COST AND EXPENSES" instead of "THE PARTIES SHALL BEAR THEIR OWN COST AND EXPENSES" they made an error on "THEI R OWN"... or am i the one that is wrong?
Should I even go to school tomorrow? I have not payed anything at all.. I'm just scared that Student Loans already sent a Loan.
They make it seem like they are all professional , everyone is suited up. Girls have all under the knee skirts with their collared shirts tucked in. They have camera's recording everything someone says, they have bluetooth looking phones on their ears. They all speak very professional without a studder or repeating words. I don't know. I turned down a job with an Optician to go to this school and now im thinking twice about it.
I will be going for Dental Assistant.
The school says to be an Accredited school by the state of Texas.
This school has been open for 2 years so their is really no reviews since the classes are small, it is rare to find someone graduated from ATI at the moment.
