You were approached by them? Interesting--how did that work?

I wonder how popular the program has gotten. I get their targeted ads everywhere now, so it's hard for me to judge.

I'm going the data science track. With the intensity of the schedule, I'm told it's as much or more coding as a four-year CS degree. Seems like a good way to get competent quickly, then get a foot in the door.

I had a recruiter email me! I think they target new grads. I just tried combing my inbox, but I couldn't find it - I promise I'm not delusional, but now I'm wondering if it was a different company making the same kind of sales-pitch? Who knows.

How're you holding up? I had a lot of sleepless nights in college, I can't imagine the stress of condensing that so much...

It doesn't start until September. But I'll be sure to update you. The pace is apparently steady but not overwhelming. And while there is some homework, there's a lot of help. We'll see how different the environment is from college.
