I actually set up an appt to have a phone session with them about my son a few months ago. I thought the advisor was so unprofessional and ignorant that I wouldn't let him mentor for free, much less pay $1500 just in start up fees for it.
I swear if he called me by the completely unrelated name (Debbie?!) or used the phrases. "hey buddy" or "in English that means way cool" one more time I'd have reached through the phone and beat him with his end of it. And he didn't answer ANY of our questions. It was abundantly apparent he was reading from a cold call sales script. A poorly written one at that. And this was NOT a cold sale call. We had called expressing interest and scheduled an interview session, so trying to sell me at all, much less in such a poor manner, was completely unnecessary as we were obviously already sold on the idea of CLEP and distant learning. Biggest waste of 40 minutes ever.
