Harmony

Awful experience when trying to deal with them in person, they definitely cared about just recruiting me and not about me as a person I kept saying I’m not ready postpartum and I kept feeling pressured to start anyways, but after revisiting this a couple months later in my postpartum journey at four months, I decided to look online instead and met with the most beautiful soul who is also mother like me and can relate and understand my emotions And validate them so I feel extremely excited to start school and wish I was already a student, but I start in January next month

Business Response:

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are sorry to hear that your initial interaction did not reflect the level of care we aim to provide. We appreciate you giving us another opportunity and are glad to know the online team was able to offer the support and understanding you needed. We wish you the very best as you begin your classes in January. Sincerely, Southern Careers Institute

I have to give credit to Imelda in the admissions department in Pharr, Tx. I was simply interested in going back to school, when I talked to Imelda she was very knowledgeable in the programs and the school culture. I wanted to hang up because the procrastinator in me wanted to keep pushing school on the back end of things. And when talking to her I felt excited, ready, and responsible to take the initiative and run with the decision of attending. Having graduated high school 20 years ago, this was a huge leap of faith for me, life challenges came and I kept going, I kept submitting my work. I had great support from the instructors, administrators, & Imelda along the way. I proudly graduated from the billing and coding program, and just enrolled for the Associates of applied science in healthcare management.

Business Response:

Thank you for sharing your inspiring journey with us! We’re so proud of your dedication and determination to return to school and achieve your goals. It’s wonderful to hear how Imelda and our Pharr Branch Campus team supported you throughout your experience. Congratulations on completing the Billing and Coding program and taking the next step toward your Associate of Applied Science in Healthcare Management! 💛 Sincerely, Southern Careers Institute

Heather

It was a smooth and amazing experience enrolling in SCI. I had horrible anxiety before talking to the Admissions Rep, Christine, but after talking to her and explaining everything and walking me through the process that anxiety was out the window and I was more than ready to start. I'm excited about my future and I know I made the right choice with SCI.

Business Response:

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad Christine was able to guide you through the enrollment process and make it a smooth experience. We’re excited for you and can’t wait to see all the great things ahead on your journey at SCI! 😊 Sincerely, Southern Careers Institute
