This is where I’ll go through how my admissions process was with MakerSquare.Kudos to Randy Tolentino for the featured image. His images have such a nice resolution that it works great with this post. Thanks Randy!
I have to say, I really liked going through this multi-step admission process.It made me feel like I was earning it and that MakerSquare isn’t just a churn out kind of bootcamp.Also, constantly going through these weed out steps made victory all the sweeter when I made it on the other side.
The first interview focuses solely on getting to know each other and my goals for MakerSquare, etc.The second interview focused solely on the coding challenges and assessing technical ability. I was able to ask a few questions pertaining to his specific cohort experience, but the majority of my questions were answered by Shaan.
answers were paraphrased or just referenced verbatimpersonal comments are highlighted like this
I was accepted!!! ☺️ Woot, woot! I think I was able to prove that I was ready during the technical interview since Screenhero was the best tool to showcase what kind of programmer I was.Here’s part of the email they sent me:I hope you are doing well! I have very good news, we would like to admit you to MakerSquare's summer 2015 cohort. I do want to let you know about a change to your cohort's start date. Rather than starting on May 26th, you will now start on June 1st.
The decision to adjust the start date was to provide our instructors a week gap for preparation between the end of the prior class and the start of your class. It will help us ensure that each class starts off on the right foot, and things are seamless from the beginning. We're really excited to be able to do this going forward. The program still remains as a 12 week program.//twitter.com/CourseReport/status/555387348620689408]I also have shared my interview experience with bootcamps such as
