This school is misleading. The recruiter Madeline give students incorrect information to get you to enroll. Once you're enrolled and classes start the advisor gives you different information. This is school a joke and is looking to make money. They are not being honest with new students coming in. Horrible waste of time and money. I withdraw from all of my classes before the last day to withdraw and they gave me a grade of F for both classes. All my work was 90 or above on all assignments and participation. Why didn't get a W? Why a F? I received a call almost 1 year later threatening me to a balance of $1600 or I would be sent to collections. I never received a letter in the mail or anything regarding a bill. This school needs to be permanently closed for the fraud they committed. Other people has experienced this horrible treatment from these unprofessional people. When asked for a bill to mailed to me and a back down of the outstanding balance the guy Victor +1 (518) 786-0855 couldn't tell. As per Victor "you owe the balance if you don't pay I'm sending you to collections today, good luck, congratulations you'll be in collections" in the was of the professional at the school. The email I received 8/6/2023 about a balance I never was informed about.....almost 1 year later I received this email....no balance information in the email but threatening to send me to collections....smh. Horrible school read more

Former student who would not recommend this school to anyone. They are not accommodating to older students It was stated that because of my age they felt I was not able to complete the program. Basically you are teaching yourself and they are taking your money read more

They are always eager to take your money but lack in the organization, communication and consistency within the program. Furthermore most schools hold student transcripts when payments are delayed/late this school shuts down student access in the middle of the semester preventing students from successfully completing courses until the payment is made ultimately causing students to fail and have to pay again to retake courses. ITS A SCAM DO NOT ATTEND. read more

The worst school I ever attended, I wish I did more research before enrolling but last week I finally opened my eyes and realized how many scammers are in this establishment, from the secretary to the teachers that can't even speak proper English. read more

This school will scam you in so many ways. 1. An MA certificate doesn't take almost a year to complete or is it so expensive. CUNY schools have free 5 month programs for an MA certificate. 2. Their requirements for LPN is ridiculous. They want you to take the "prerequisites" with MA classes so if you fail the TEAS they make it mandatory for you to finish the MA certificate program and then take FIVE more classes for the AOS to then get into the LPN program. 3. They play favorites, they (the advisors) tell you that they don't know when the TEAS are (they do) but only tell certain students. This is how people will end up failing the TEAS and being forced into the MA program. 4. It's so bad and so expensive that most of the students leave within the first module. Plus, if you do go and end up leaving please note that only about 2 other schools take their credits (Helen fold and AMG nursing school of Brooklyn) Please take my advice as someone who also left after doing a few classes and transferred to another school when they let me schedule my TEAS and take it. I will also add that they are trying to make it harder for students to withdraw from this school because they want to keep the school up and running. This place needs to be reevaluated and shut down. They barely have any accreditation. read more

Extremely unprofessional. This school are full of scammers. They are in it to drain you of your finances while providing less than subpar education. Please read the fine print. They are a disrepute school and should be shut down. read more

This school is trash. Very money hungry and tell different information to students. I wish I would've throughly researched before coming here. I wouldn't send a 0.3 gpa student here. Cliff was fast talking and sounded more like a sales pitch to enroll here. No proper resources available to students read more

Very complicated and confusing process to try to enter theLPN program. They are extremely expensive and they change the weekend schedule same week of class. Ridiculous place read more

worse decision I made was enrolling here. The only good thing about the school is the professors.

An admissions representative told me Daca recipients cannot take the nclex and therefore could not attend the program. This is wrong. I was willing to pay cash for this program but not any more I chose a different program. read more

this school is a bad school they be scamming all the StI dents on there fanacial aid and when it come to graduation they won't let u because you end up owning the school because of them scamming you out of your fanacial aid read more

this school is a scam!!!!!!! none of the credits can be transfer!!! waste of time and money!!!! do not attend here!!!!!!

please do not attend this school some instructor are incompetent I had nothing but issues when speaking with financial services down to the receptionist who is also incompetent and very rude even the delivery company fed ex complained how rude she is most places do not accept their PN program. The clinical classes have outdated equipment if any at all. Show up for class and some times no instructor present. Just a horrible experience. Do Not Attend this program by the way I passed so this is not a bitter post. Just be ready to teach yourself because that is what you will be doing. read more

Very unprofessional. this school is a SCAM, stay away from it. They will try to suck you into am MA program before allowing you to get into LPN program even if you don't need that and you already have the pre requisites necessary and knowledge to pass the TEAS exam. There is little to no information on their website about tuition cost, hours, admission requirements etc. They wants you to leave your number snf info and afterwards they will start spaming you and harassing you everyday with random messages and calls to join the program. SALE PEOPLE and SCAM artist is what they are. read more

No stars do not Apply or go here. Lied about being an accredited school. Finished with Associates MA program with amazing grades and now magically going to another school where I was told by Darren or Derrick from mildred elley that all credits are transferable to colleges and they are not. Now they are saying all SUNY and CUNY schools will not take the credits but private schools. Scam artist of a school. read more

Do not go to this school unless you plan on going straight to the LPN program. My suggestion: buy the ATI Teas book and study it front to back. They will convince you to start with the medical assistant program and then "bridge" into LPN. TAKE ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY I AND II FIRST!!! Ace these two courses and then sit for the TEAS exam. When I graduate, I will be in debt because I basically took two programs. read more

I went here for a interview I spoke to Cliff. I was there with one other girl while he gave us a sun up of the school. Basically he said a placement test needed to be taken BUT you can still attend school. You will be in a medical assistant course until you pass the test. Then you will move on to the LPN course. I had to ASK to see the school which was shown to be small with a few clean classrooms. It was also stated they are TRYING to get the classes in person but "people don't want to come into school they rather do the work from home" sounded to me like the courses would be online mostly. One thing I will say is Cliff told me to apply for financial aid at their school and even if I don't use it there I can SHOP AROUND wit it and go to other schools I never heard that before. Several Emails and text asking me to fill out the financial aid application even after I stated I wasn't going to attend is weird. read more

Iyonna's Review explains a lot! I graduated from the paralegal program about 3 years ago. My goal was to the transfer my credits and obtain a bachelors and then try for law school. Well today after speaking with some colleges. My degree and credits I worked so hard for are a complete waste. And even if there was a miracle from god that any college will accept their credits. They are holding my transcripts from me for a balance of $2000. (When I first graduated it was $918). Mind you every time I look on my credit report. I see $26000 in loans for a degree I cant do anything with and have to start from scratch to further my education. I wasted 2 years and $26000. I'm not a teen just graduating from high school, I'm a grown woman wit kids and bills. Time and money are precious. BUYER BEWARE!!! read more

Do NOT come here. The estimated financial aid is given to you in the beginning after you apply. Then after you are finished and graduate you discover your loans are way over what you were told it was estimated to be. It is one thing if it is off by a few hundred or even a grand or two but nope. I just got off the phone with a financial aid consultant who told me the school took out may more loans than I would have needed for my course. Then they tried to spin it saying I was given a check to cover the things i didn't use loans for which i should apply to my total loans. However, I should be applying the check to the original total loans and not the inflated current one. I was looking over my ledger that I had the consultant send to me and there were Lab fees charged for classes that had no labs. Avoid this school. Not worth it. read more

So for folks who don't know cause it seems to be a lot in the reviews and it's also never spoken of; competitive yes cause competent people are needed. While it isn't the end all be all, lots of folks exist out there trying to get into an RN program and from what I see, an LPN program as well lol. Do not lot them use that as a defense to shrug away all the shady stuff going on here. It's silly AF hearing about taking a medical assistant program to knock out prereqs to then have to deal with the competitiveness of being accepted but wait -everything better be paid off first. Then there's the accreditation issue. You're stuck with their small network of colleges where Mildred is being acknowledged. Let's say you have a financial/transport/habitable relocation issue. You're stuck with the obstacles here. like another person said there are various other largely well known colleges/uni's to pick instead of read more

They will withhold your credentials, block you from graduating and prevent you from taking the nclex if you do not pay your tuition and fees in full. read more

this school is robbing me blind, 30,000 for lpn program, plus I have to take courses I don't need and the books are $260,00 a semester and you cannot pass your classes, or have access to class without these digital books. this is the most stressful experience Ive ever had with a school read more

Well, I'm interested in starting the LPN program and have been reaching out to multiple schools to get details. You know; tuition, length of program, transfer credits, etc. I filled out the registration form online and started getting text messages on my phone. I signed up for an open house which takes place in about a week from now. This afternoon I received a phone call from an advisor. (I won't mention her name)The way she spoke to me on the phone was enough to pursue my education elsewhere. The advisor did not introduce herself or tell me what school she was calling from. As she started asking me questions I had to stop her and ask her What is your name? what school are you calling from? If you can't speak to me professionally on the phone; Then there's more unprofessionalism in my opinion to come if I go to the school. Plus if you're LPN program is going to cost $32,000.00(per advisor) I might as well sign up for an RN program at a more reputable school. I found a much affordable school in Long Island $10-11k less and spoke to a much professional advisor who answered all my questions and made me feel secure of my decision... One thing I will say is DO YOUR RESEARCH ON THESE SCHOOLS! Check all platforms for reviews. Check Platforms of current nurses who talk about their experiences at LPN or RN school. read more

This school is in every way a SCAM! I applied in hopes of getting into their LPN program, but before you can get into that program you have to take a certain amount of prerequisites. You must also maintain a certain GPA and pass the TEAS exam. I maintained a very high GPA and scored well on the TEAS. I was told that I could then enter into the LPN program, but needed to come to the school in person for a change of program. When I get there, I'm told that I can't enter into the LPN program this year, and would have to start the beginning of the new year because they didn't have my high school transcript on file. The same transcript they asked me to provide in order to apply for admission. I immediately contacted the President, who offered me basically nothing to make up them lying to my face. Needless to say I left the program. Please please please do yourselves a favor and don't even contact this "school". There are plenty of better suited CUNY and SUNY programs out there that will provide you with a better education. This program is only after your money, nothing else. It's too late for me to go back, but implore everyone to stay far away from this scam of a business. read more

Very Unprofessional! Literally was arguing with me via messages because I didn't want to attend the school. Got really mad and disrespectful because I didn't want to send over MY TRANSCRIPT?! Once I said "glad you showed your true colors" there was no response. This guy was extremely nice when I first came in for information and turned out to be wearing a MASK! He had the nerve to ask me "do you think you're doing the school a favor by coming.. good luck" I should've known something was up when he begged me to fill out an application and let me know it'll be FREE. Seriously?! What college application is ever free, seems like the school needed me more than I needed them..desperate. Read these reviews before going to register.. I wish I did ! Be careful being educated is both a blessing and a curse.. there are schools that want you just to make them look good rather than trying to help you get to where you want to be in life ! Last but not least, he found himself bashing MEDGER EVERS COLLEGE to convince me to go to their school. This school is a mess! read more

This school is the worse ever!! They charge hidden fees, double charge and cannot explain where the extra money is going. The professors are all foreigners and some you can barely understand. They should be closed down, because they are truly crooks in disguise! When I left the school I had a $700 balance... they sent me a letter saying I owe 1383, when asked to break it down, they gave some BS answer!! Furthermore they charge $$840 for the teas assessment which only costs $125 for the test and $25 for the study material! I wouldn't recommend this school to a lab rat! read more

A woman called me and berated me not knowing anything about me personally making judgemental and rude comments when I explained to her I'd like to look more into the school before I set up an appointment. I see why she didn't want me to look into it more as they have such a low rating. She was such a rude and unprofessional woman saying things to intentionally put me down when she knows absolutely nothing about me. Definitely wouldn't consider attending this school if the entire school is like this. read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL!! They did not even deserve one star. I went to this college for LPN. I made it through right up until I was supposed to start clinicals. For 8 months I was on the presidents list (the last MOD dean's list) and maintained a 3.0 GPA and higher the whole time. I failed math because the teacher played YouTube videos the whole time and I wasn't understanding the material. When I asked the teacher Sophia for help she told me to look in my book. The whole class failed her course!! I re-took math with a different teacher and she actually showed me how to solve the math problems and I finally understood! However because I was unable to complete the final exam I failed. They give you 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete 50 nursing math questions (4 of the questions had three parts). In real life when you have to give someone insulin and you are calculating the dosage you need to get another nurse to double check to make sure the dosage correct - this alone takes more than 90 seconds to complete. I was unable to complete this test which resulted in my failing grade of a 66. I also got a 90 on the competency test which is the same kind of questions on the final so It proved I understood the material. Since I failed the course twice they kicked me out of the LPN program and told me if I want to get back in I have to complete the medical assistant program with a 3.0 GPA or higher - then at that point they will consider letting me back in the LPN program to retake math. I am already a medical assistant helping MOHS surgeons remove skin cancer. I am not going to waste my money going to college for medical assistant when I already am a medical assistant! So I wanted to transfer to another school which I am supposed to start in a few weeks but they will not let me start until I have my transcript. So I paid 8 dollars online for my transcript that Mildred Elley cancelled because my "drop" is still being processed so they need to see if I owe money and if I do they will not give me my transcript. I have been laying every single month 150 dollars a month even while I was attending their school! She told me there is no law saying they can not hold my transcript and they will hold it. These people are terrible and absolutely do not help you try to progress in your career. Another thing is after completing 8 months - the Sonis website shut down which showed your grade. So they had me under the impression I passed math and I started clinics for two weeks until the website started working again and they told me I could not move on in the LPN program. However, since they told me for two weeks that I did pass and they put me in clinicals I had to buy their scrubs for clinicals, I had to buy a badge holder, I had to buy a notebook, I had to take time off of work I had to buy a stethoscope and I was forced to get my vaccine which I did not want to do because their is parkinson's disease in my family - all to just throw right in the trash. This school is a joke and they set you up to fail. read more

Mildred Elley - Colleges & Universities Near Me - New York, New York

Iyonna H pretty much covered everything I had to say. After reading what she wrote, it would be pointless for me to say anything at all. They also lied and told me I received 2 scholarships. I received nothing at all, it's just something to they say to put a smile on your face. They told me I had to take the medical assistant first and once I'm done, I will start the LPN program right after. The total amount of the federal loan was $10,500, then another private loan (TFC an affiliate of Mildred Elley) in the amount of $9,500. So in all it cost me $20,000 for a medical assistant program. I started in 2020, google the cost of what a Clinical Medical Assistant course is and google the course of what a LPN course cost. Currently I wasted my time and money to become a Clinical Medical Assistant. I was told I had to take out another loan if I wanted to do the LPN program. I believe that loan was for $29,000. In total it would have cost me $49,000 to be an LPN, when for that amount I could be a Registered Nurse read more

Please do yourself a favor and never attend this school. They are full of lies. You cannot transfer any credits, you cannot go from MA to RN. Do your research on this school. Im going to have to start from scratch to continue my education. read more

Where do i start!!! Mildred Elley was a blessing in disguise, i started at this school in September 2016, i planned on completing 6 months of pre reqs with a B or better so that i could apply for their LPN program. Upon Completing your prerequisites you will be eligible to sit for the TEAs exam that tests your readiness to start the LPN portion of the program, you have to earn a 68+ to get into the LPN program (they will accept your pre reqs from another institution if you've earned a B or better making it just 10 months to complete LPN portion). I had some of the most intelligent and personable professors that actually cared about seeing their students succeed. Like any school there were some bumps in the road but nothing beyond the normal, i completed my LPN May 2018 along with all 16/16 in my class we are all working licensed LPNs that have gone on to apply to different schools in the NYC area. your life is what you make it you must work hard to see results, some of these reviews may be clouded by past experiences but my experience was great and my credits were very much so transferable. read more

I set up an interview to tour the school and when I got there the lady I was supposed to see had to leave and I met with another lady instead who was not only incompetent she seemed to be on crack or something.. Super weird, it was more of an interrogation and i was very prepared to ask questions and she basically laughed at my questions. As an adult already working in the medical field already I was completely discouraged and couldn't help but burst out laughing after leaving.. First of all I am looking for my education, and it wasn't taken seriously when I went there... I also received multiple texts and calls from them trying to get me to sign up for their program.. No Thank you! Iv'e also heard that a lot of the things they offer here are not even accredited. SCAM! stay away. read more

This school is a scam they billed me $4,500 mind u I didn't stay the whole semester due to my grad father death they told me if I bring a death certificate and proof I would not owe anything guess what they lied this school just got accredited 2018 mined u I was there way before so why Im I paying for something that wasn't accredited. Mind u back then if u did your research some one in the financial aid office was scamming using people social security . New York Mildred Elley there were in so many law suites I don't even know why is still open guys do your research go to a real college . Now I got my bachelors degree .

Ladies and Gentlemen, my niece attended this school. NYC is full of colleges. Hostos Community, Bronx Community, Lehman College, Hunter, Baruch College, Queens College, Pace University and Brooklyn College. Please you have so many options in NYC. READ ANY CONTRACT THOROUGHLY BEFORE YOU SIGN. Also, the truth is in the data. Do you know the number of students who start programs and actually graduate? How many are hired in their field after getting a degree? read more

This school is ridiculously unprofessional , they never answer the phones and when they do they have complete attitudes , I have been yelled at , and hung up on many times by some young ladies in financial aid , one being Angelica , and Becky Connors . They fight with you about releasing financial aid credit that is owed to you , as of its coming out of their pocket , very very rude . I wouldn't recommend anyone attend this fraud of a school , the instructors also suck big time , hopefully I make it through Alive , I have 13 months left read more

It's some what over 26,000 for the LPN program. Only reason I'm thinking of attending this program is because 1199 union helps pay for some. This is one of the affiliated schools 1199 does not cover all LPN programs in New York. I know a lady in my job that graduated from here in the LPN program then went to St. Paul's in Queens, she graduating this semester, program took her a little over a year to complete. So I atleast know someone that went through the whole process. Two other schools that will take you after becoming a licensed LPN meaning passing the nclex is Helene Fuld and Monroe in the Bronx. read more

Unprofessional is all I have to say happy I didn't decide to go to this please and picked a real college

Mildred Elley is a scam, the school will overcharge your student bill each module for courses. I graduated from the business program, there were very few business students often times we had courses running without books because the school did not order them. Mildred Elley focuses on its medical students. I have Access-VR assisting me with tuition and the school has submitted multiple invoices with erroneous charges. Here I am three months later needing an official transcript so I can enroll in a bachelor's program and there is a hold on my account. Mildred Elley graduates are forced to transfer to schools they have articulation agreements with. This also restricts the graduate from exploring another major. During my time at Mildred Elley, they underwent an accreditation review which only covered the medical program. The school threatened to shut down its business program with no regard for its current students enrolled. Mildred Elley misleads students by informing them they will graduate with an associates degree in the studies of their choice. Students graduate with a vocational associates degree (AOS) Associate in Occupational Studies in Business Managment, Medical Assitance, and Massage Therapy. Mildred Elley offers an (AAS) Associates in Applied Science for the paralegal program which is the only degree recognized as a liberal arts degree. read more

I wish I would've dodged the bullet. But I was so eager in getting into a LPN program that worked around my work schedule. I did one semester with the advice of one of the professors. Before starting I told my advisor that I was already an MA and I did not want to the course again. She reassured me that I will be able to take the TEAS when the testing came around again. Any way that same advisor told me to finish up the semester so I won't owe any money, do my research and find a legit school. During my last two class of the semester my daughter passed away but I still was able to finish but decided not to return. Months down the line I received a call from someone from Mildred Elley stating I owe them money! I ask how. The explanation that she gave didn't make any sense. She said if I didn't pay it then I would never get my credits to use anywhere else. I told her that the credits wasn't valid and I didn't want it. Long story short I didn't pay it. But I let her know that they shouldn't take advantage of people who are trying to better themselves. I met people who attended this school and completed the course and wasted money and time. Please go straight pass this school. It's really a waste of time. read more
