In 2011, I contacted to some schools/colleges online to inquire about fees etc.  Most of Schools/Colleges & Institute sent me their Brochure, Tuition fees information etc. except Wood Tobe Coburn School (WTCS), New York and instead of sending me  School Brochure,  Admissions Manger,  Tiesha Dash emailed me that their graduates makes around 2000,000 to 400,000 to attract me.  

Next day WTCS Admission Representative, Alanna M. Santini called me and set up an appointment and refused to give me any information about program on the phone. I visited the school on May 6th 2011 and when I asked Ms. Santini that why I have to pay $8,500 Per Semester to WTCS when I can get same Degree/Program from CUNY or other School/colleges where tuition fess is less than half. ($2100 to $4000 per semester). Ms. Santini replied, “other School do not have placement department, like FIT or PARSON, but if I graduated from WTCS. I will be placed in 90 days”. She  also misguided me that WTCS teach 100% Career Skills Subjects, that's lie.

Admission Representatives also other staff of WTCS, even most of School Instructors kept misguiding to students till 4rth  and last semester that their Placement Rate is 100% and their graduates makes around $2,156 to $3,333 per month.

When WTCS received total 34,240.00 tuition money + around $3,000 Books & Supply from all students and they realized that no student is going to leave in the last semester, Placement Director, Rhonda Douglas-Charles appeared   in class on December 5th 2012 (16 days before graduation day) and gave a handout which says “WE DO NOT GUARTEE YOU JOB."

When I said to Placement Director “if you guys gave this handout at beginning of first semester that “WE DO NOT GUARNTEE YOU JOB” most of students like me wouldn’t enroll in WTCS. Placement Director replied,  “I don‘t have time for argument and I did not promise you for the job and whoever promise you or gave you Broacher that says we have  100% placement rate then talk to them.” I spoke to School Director, Mr. Daniel Colon, but he made same excuse.

There are many Schools/Colleges like Wood Tobe-Coburn School in State of New York that are Scam.  They are misleading students and overcharging Double and Triple Tuition Fees to attract students that they have excellent placement service and after graduation they will get job in 90 days.  Their victims are high school students who do not about job market in US. These kinds of School should be fined, banned and their business license must be revoked in State of New York.
