SAE Institute of Technology New York — Attraction in New York

This is going to be the realest review you will ever see about this school. I graduated in 2021-2022 and i’m tired of getting asked if this school is worth it. IT’S NOT! I currently work in a music studio that I got myself into. Not the school! I didn’t need a certification or anything to get in which i of course been knew about. The problem is this school promises you for better. I fell for this school like an idiot but at the end of the day this isn’t right. I mention this because the school actually reached out to me plenty of times to list me as employed and tried to make it seem like they got me the job when they didn’t! You will learn the basics of audio engineering and production. You’re better off on YouTube and putting yourself to work. This school was my biggest mistake and I actually still can’t believe i wasted thousands of dollars for it. They do a great job convincing you to come to the school mentioning a few successful graduates that are well known and even they disliked SAE. Don’t let these people lie to you and take your money. The only jobs they will help you get are minimum wage gigs such as working at a studio for $16 an hour and working at a church setting up equipment for less than $18 an hour and 4 hours of work max, and jobs that require a degree that the school doesn’t even offer you. You will not find a good job with this school. You will not learn much from it compared to YouTube. The only thing you will get from it is learn the SSL Console and be hands on with certain equipment and even at that you don’t have enough time with it. Those thousands of dollars you’re spending are better spent getting the stuff yourself. This school is a joke. I write this not because i lack success but because i’m genuinely trying to save a life. Don’t do it. Don’t listen to the person on the phone. Don’t listen to them if you sit down with them and talk about the school and what it offers. I repeat don’t do it. Most of the people i graduated with feel the exact same way as me and hate this school. Don’t...

I should’ve never deleted my initial review.

After letting everyone know how once graduating all the promises of assisting with finding a job and how much they get graduates into jobs. We (myself and many other graduates) found out the total opposite. It’s been over a year and I haven’t really gotten much. Maybe a handful of emails that start once I call in and complain then stop shortly after even when they say “sorry it seems we didn’t have you on the lion mailing list.”

On top of that the aggression from student account services collecting their money even after I’ve told them to stop the payments and continue to sue so without my authorization (which I’m sure has to be against a law). I was told I won’t be getting refunds and that there’s nothing they can do.

In other words they’re telling me I can not stop them or request them to stop charging my account even though they did not deliver on the promise they so heavily advertised upon enlisting as a student.

Btw I had some of the best if not the best work of my entire class during my time there.

So much so that my professor told me he gave me a less than 100% on my final just to humble me (his words exactly).

Moving forward I’m happy to spend my own money on a lawyer even if I don’t make anything back.

What this school is doing isn’t right.

Also I deleted my initial review because the school read it and I was informed by their student career services templates that because of my review they got in trouble, as if it was my fault. How can you speak to someone like that to have their review removed because you didn’t want to get in trouble because your institution does not deliver on their promises.

I want my refund for the unauthorized charges that I know are on a recorded call and I do not want any affiliation with SAE.

As an experienced engineer in the field even before tho I g to SAE. YOU CAN DEFINITELY LEARN WHAT THWY TTACH INLINE FOR MUCH LESS.

Hire. A professional for a quarter of why they charge and get better connected in...

If I could give this negative stars, I would. I went to SAE for the night part time program. The instructors, with the exception for 2, were terrible. Then to add insult to injury, the night time classes were reassigned those two good teachers because "they weren't allowed to work more than 40 hours". Things went downhill from there. We even had a "teacher" who spent 1 hour trying to figure out how to do something on logic, just to have him waste our time and shrug like it was funny. In another instance, a teacher FELL ASLEEP while showing us A YOUTUBE VIDEO. something i could have done in the comfort of my home, minus the snoring. Unbelievable. I will always tell anyone I can to steer clear. Things get worse if I tell you how there were people doing coke. Come on now. What a mess. And an extreme waste of a dream and 28k. Save your money, passion and time. Do it yourself at home. Don't go to a place that doesn't even care, just gives fake replies about 'oh, we're soo sorry' no, trust, no one cares. They just want to suck your pockets dry, because you can't get a hold of a teacher but financial aid will be ON YOU if you breathe wrong. I figured maybe this will help someone as I am and know many who were ripped off by this campus. Don't bother replying...
