I actually DO have that claim, based on pretty much the same thing - plus pictures & diary entries.
Anyway... I haven’t tried to “game” it as I’m no democRat.
I read the page, and did some reviews. $12,500 for essentially four months of intensive coding, or about $800 per week, not including food and lodging is rather harsh. To be blunt, if you have the Internet and put in the same amount of time, and you can join a couple of coding groups as well, you can probably do the same thing in maybe a little more time for considerably less money. Perhaps the job placement may be worth it IF you can get a job, but I’ll be blunt: if the school were THAT confidant you can get a job, they would not require the money up front.
Frankly, I would see this as an opportunity for a competitor to come in and offer the same thing, but with a job GUARANTEE for graduates that pass. If such jobs are really in demand, this would be a no-brainer for the most part.
