Student Loan Default & Job Placement Rates
You can make stats look like whatever you like when you don't do apples to apples comparisons. Omnitech Institute and schools like it (Everest) don't pretend to be like state schools like GPC and GA State. In fact they go to great lengths to differentiate themselves from those types of schools. So for someone to make that comparison is not giving the whole story. So please by all means, do your own research using the same website provided above. We are confident you will find when you compare other similar schools in urban areas you will find that Omnitech has the some of the best default rates in it's class, lowest tuition and the lowest faculty to student ratio meaning students get the most attention. And please don't forget to make a visit to Omnitech today as part of your research. We love informed students, they make great Omnitech graduates!

Student Loan Default & Job Placement Rates
Stop lying to people. This is not comparing apples to oranges. This is program to program. Education to education. No one said anything about comparing OTI to GSU. That's just ridiculous. The National Center for Educational Statistics is a federal agency. I did not make up the stats or make them look any kind of way; they are what they are. The bottom line is the truth.
Just because Everest and others like may have extremely high default rates, does not make it right. There is a reason the default rates are high. PEOPLE GRADUATE AND CANNOT FIND EMPLOYMENT USING THE OVERPRICED EDUCATION THEY RECEIVED FROM OMNITECH. It is the truth.
Unbelievable that you would say that "Omnitech has some of the best default rates" really???? 21% It doesn't matter if there are 1000 schools with 21% default student loan rate--it's still horrible. Facts are facts. This is supposed to be a career institution people. They say that if you attend there and pay more, you will finish in less time and most likely be employed. Not true. Most definitely not by completing the Audio Engineering program.
Obviously educational institutions have several performance measures, however, when they (all of them do) lie about placement rates, one must find the truth other ways. Face it, the student loan default rate is an indicator and most people do not know that.
When did OTI start loving informed students? That's new.

Student Loan Default & Job Placement Rates
Oh yeah, the average default rate for a for profit insitutions (of which OTI is one--apples to apples, right?) is 11%. In 2009, OTI reported 21%. Not good. Please note that I am not fabricating any of these numbers, this is public knowledge that anyone can see. So instead of comparing schools, how about comparing schools with similar programs? Try the public technical colleges and pay particular attention to the cost.
So many individuals in this economy are struggling to make ends meet. Many are enrolling in institutions of higher education, public and for profit in order to receive student loan refund dollars to survive. This is unfortunate, but, absolutely true. When you enroll in a program at for profit insitutions like OTI, you pay more and have issues with transferring credits if you wish to do so in the future. Once again, by paying more (for less, in my opinion), you receive less refund; less money allocated for living expenses.
I am just an informed consumer who is exercising her right to free speech and sharing FACTUAL knowledge (not conjecture) with others.
By the way, I have no need for OTI, I received my degrees from well-respected, highly regarded public institutions with credits that I can transfer anywhere around the country if I so choose. Thanks anyway for the offer.
