I am a graduate of Lehman College, Class of 2001. I've always held Lehman College in great regards and I've made numerous recommendations to others interested in continuing their education to pursue at Lehman College. I applied for the MSW program for the fall semester. After completing the process including my application fee, I was scheduled for a group interview on a last minute basis and could not take off from work, then rescheduled on a day that I was on vacation out of town. I was told "Good luck on your plans to further your education" but I could not be rescheduled because too many people applied for the program and they finished their interviewing." I think this is a nice way to steal a person's hard earned money. There should be some compensation at least hold the application and resubmit it at the next MSW program available, with priority or refund the money. I have lost all respect for Lehman College and I will definetly pursue my education elsewhere!
