Former AIMC student here...

If you plan to transfer into AIMC, you need to take specific action to insure the credits that you are *told* will transfer and be credited toward sitting for the CA board exam, actually will be accepted.

When I started AIMC 2 years ago, half the class were transfer students. They promise the world and under-deliver to say the least. There are many horror stories out there about students who *think* they are done, but face mountains of new work because the state board did not accept the credits that AIMC *promised* would transfer.

I am writing this because I firmly believe there was intentional mis-representation to the student body of what can and cannot transfer. My opinion but corroborated by many others. The background info is that 2 years ago AIMC was nearly bankrupt and about to have their state of CA accreditation stripped-a big reason was financial instability. AIMC did get a 5 year full accreditation recently.

Many students who transferred in are now screwed and this culture *may* still exist. One student threatened legal action and this seemed to help. AIMC is a great school and has turned the corner on many of these problems, but buyer beware. If you plan to transfer credits in, you need to draft a legally binding agreement with the school and put the burden of insuring your credits will be accepted by the state board onto the school.

Get it in writing, get it reviewed by a lawyer. Seriously, save yourself some major headaches.
