Hello to all, even though this is my first post I have visited this board many, many times in my quest to find a school. While I won't bore anyone with the reasons I have decided to attend ATP I will say I have visited the school (JAX) and have asked a lot of tough questions of them. With that said, there is one question yet to be answered and, with the recent debacle at ATA, the MOST important question as far as I am concerned.
I have asked several individuals at ATP for financials or the equivalent so as to verify that they are solvent and in overall decent financial shape. The answer I have gotten is that, since they are a private organization, they do not and will not provide such information. This, to me, seems a bit odd since their excuse so far has been that "private institutions do not provide financials"..... a patently false statement. While it is true that some do not, many do. I, for one, would be more than willing to offer such a reassurance for a potential student if I thought it was the last piece of the puzzle they were looking for in their decision making process. So, then, the obvious question is why won’t they provide me with financials? I would be a fool to not assume the worst.
My request, to any of you in-the-know, would be to provide any information (anecdotal, financial, or other) that might begin to shed some light on exactly where APT stands financially…..
