The Admissions Process

How to Apply (4 Steps)

Create an account in seconds, apply in less than 20 minutes, and meet with our team to determine if this program is right for you.

This page contains admissions process information for our full-time beginner program only. For another option, learn about the admissions process for our intermediate program. If you’re still undecided on which program is right for you, read through our program comparison.

Step 1: Submit Application

Set aside 10-20 minutes to complete your application, which contains questions related to your background and professional goals.

Please note that our cohorts fill up quickly. Indicating a particular cohort start date on your application does not guarantee a seat in that cohort. Rather, your acceptance into the program means you can enroll in any cohort with available seats as long as that cohort begins within one year of your acceptance.

Step 2: Aptitude Test

The Criteria Cognitive Aptitude Test (CCAT) is a proven, scientifically validated aptitude test that measures an individual’s ability to solve problems, digest and apply information, learn new skills, and think critically.

Step 3: Attend an Info Session

We strongly encourage all applicants to attend a live online info session, where our team walks you through the curriculum, our approach to teaching, the daily schedule, and much more. Come get all your bootcamp-related questions answered during the event and Q&A session. We’ve seen that students are less likely to pass the interview if they did not attend the info session beforehand.

Step 4: Admissions Interview

This 15-minute non-technical interview is completed asynchronously as a recorded video interview, and helps us get to know you better. We’re looking for students who can demonstrate a passion for a new career in software engineering, who can work independently and also collaborate with others, and who can talk about their commitment to the rigor of the bootcamp.

Those who do not pass the interview will need to wait 6 months before scheduling another attempt.

How To Enroll After You’re Accepted

Once you’ve been accepted into the program, your enrollment advisor will be in touch regarding the next steps, and within 48 business hours after that conversation, we’ll send you an enrollment agreement. You’ll need to sign and return that, pay your $100 non-refundable deposit, and secure financing.

After you’ve been accepted into the program and paid your deposit, we’ll provide you with some primer materials in the weeks leading up to your start date. These will help you review high school math and computer literacy. You’re highly encouraged to complete these, as they’ll help get you into the right mindset before the first day of the program.

At this point, all you need to do is prepare your quiet work space and make sure your schedule is cleared so you can start fresh and ready to learn on the first day and moving forward.
