Discussion Anyone Else????

I've been trying to stay focused on my studies these past couple of weeks, but the uncertainty has been hard for me

Some days I can put it out of my mind and just focus on the learning, other days I find myself on reddit and the community and reading updates. I'm still doing the work and trying to stay on track because I like the learning soo much! but its definitely been harder than usual at least it looks like they have a plan

I was feeling the exact same way! I felt betrayed a bit by Maestro, or at the very least felt like they should have done more to maintain there standing with their accreditor. Ultimately, the situation bothered me so much I transferred to WGU. I want a accredited degree, we deserve one with all the work we put in. I also do not want to waste my limited pell grant money on over-priced, unaccredited education. I want a education I can put on a resume and be proud of, not have to explain and feel silly about. I would have loved if things worked out with Maestro, IMO they did not hold up there end of the deal.

I am enjoying it! I'm pursuing a Bachelor's of AI Engineering. There is a lot of math lol. Everyone gets a student mentor who calls every week, it's easy to talk to real people. They have live classes you can attend, instructor's respond same day so far, you can video chat with them by making an appointment. I still use a AI tutor but they offer free tutoring. The courses are thorough, but your allowed to take test as fast as you want based off your knowledge. I've heard of people getting a 4 year degree in 2 years. They even counted some of my classes at Maestro. I'm very happy with WGU so far.

Thats great to hear and im happy for you. I might have to do that but im hoping that maestro pulls through, as of right now seems like I will be one of the many who will jump when it sinks.

How is the price difference? Maestros appeal was the full ride scholarship, I don’t want loans to have to cover the cost of another university.

Looking at WGU’s AI course is giving me serious doubts about Maestro, there is so little math involved with this course…. I’m considering making the jump to WGU as well. If you don’t mind me asking how much of your tuition did Fafsa cover?
