Title: Trading School Round Up!
Post by: Dr. Swank on April 21, 2008, 07:58:57 AM
At long last, we have an update!

I've decided to take a look at a few trade school commercials and have Natsume's S.C.A.T. heckle the hell outta them. This one took a ton of Tivo work. but I tok the high road and made all of the captures myself. Yhey. You can read the article where? Right here (http://gamescrap.com/index.php/The-Gamescrap-Trading-School-Commercial-Round-Up/The-Gamescrap-Trading-School-Commercial-Round-Up.html)!

Feedback is appreciated, loved, and cherished.

As an extra bonus, I thought I'd post my chat transcript with the DeVry rep that I just couldn't find a place in the article for...then again, it's not funny but hey, it's extra content!

 Please wait for a DeVry Representative to respond.
 Hi! My name is Angela . Are you interested in a degree program at DeVry?
Angela : We offer degree programs in Business, Management, Healthcare Technology and Technology; which of those interest you?
Brad: Well hello there Angela! I saw a commercial during Jerry Springer about a career in game design. I want to design games!
Brad: What program would best suit me?
Angela : That's a very good choice! Have you recently been in contact with anyone from DeVry?
Brad: Nope, this is my first time...so be gentle ;)
Angela : Great! I am glad you contacted me today.
Angela : In order to achieve your academic and career goals, I would recommend that we schedule a meeting with the Admissions Advisor either via telephone or in person.
Brad: Gotcha. Should I just contact the local school or would you be able to set something up?
Angela : I need some of your basic information to set up your interview with admission advisor. It will take a minute or two for that.
Brad: Sure thing :)
Angela : What is the highest level of education you have achieved? And what year did you graduate?
Brad: I've got a GED and about three months of college under my belt. I dropped out because I got a job offer and lost my grant.
Angela : What year did you complete your GED?
Brad: About two years ago.
Angela : Can you provide me the year.
Brad: People make fun saying it's a diploma written in crayon...
Brad: 2005
Angela : Glad to know that.
Angela : Were you thinking about attending on-campus, entirely online, or a combination of both?
Brad: Most likely a combination of both.
Angela : May I have your first name, last name and e-mail address so that I can provide that to admission advisor?
Brad: Sure thing.
Brad: Brad Douangphouxai
Brad: Email address is ...
Angela : Thank you.
Angela : May I have your complete street address with zip code to assign admission advisor to you?
Angela : Thank you for sharing your information with me. At last, what would be your phone number and the best time to reach you?
Brad: I work a swing shift, so early in the morning works...hence why I'm watching Jerry ;)
Brad: Will the advisor give me the game demos from the commercial too?
Angela : That's all information we need, you will get a call from DeVry in a couple of business days.
Angela : Do you have any further questions that you want to know about DeVry?
Brad: Yeah, do you know how much we're looking at for tuition?
Angela : The cost depends on the program which  you decide to enter, course load, location, transfer credit, financial aid, etc. I would like to  put you in touch with an Admissions Advisor who can provide you with a more detailed answer to your question.
Angela : However you can get an idea about the cost from this link.
Angela : http://www.devry.edu/tuition/your_cost.jsp
Angela : Our admission advisor will provide all the information before you apply.
Angela : Is there anything else I can help you with today?
Angela : It was my pleasure talking to you today. Good luck to you, and have a great time!
Angela : Thank you for using DeVry University’s live chat service. Your opinions and suggestions are valuable to us and we would appreciate it, if you would complete a brief survey. The survey will appear when you click close within the chat window.


Yeah, not much going on there..oh well. Hopefully everything else is pure gold!
