Hey all,
You might already know me from my weekly blog on CourseReport, but if not, I am certainly glad to give a first-hand account of how gSchool helped me get to where I am now. I want to acknowledge that this was a great decision for me personally and I will talk very highly of this program but will also provide some feedback that I think could have been better.

Hey all,
You might already know me from my weekly blog on CourseReport, but if not, I am certainly glad to give a first-hand account of how gSchool helped me get to where I am now. I want to acknowledge that this was a great decision for me personally and I will talk very highly of this program but will also provide some feedback that I think could have been better.
From start to finish gSchool has surpased my expectations. From the beginning, the interivew process was seemless. For me, most interview processes can be a little disjointed and confusing, but gSchool's process was very fluid and filled with communication. Once accepted into the school I was contacted by their admission staff and was walked through their payment process. Since it is such a sizable commitement, their staff was adamant to anwer questions you may have. That was a huge plus for me! I moved from DC to attend gSchool in Denver so I sent an email or two to some staff members to inquire about possible living locations and they offered to pick me up from the airport since I did not have a vehicle.
Like their interivew process, the first couple of weeks was very open and visible. Insturctors keep you in the know about upcoming lectures, assesements, and schedules. This level of transperancy was paramount to me because I came from a company where transperancy was not a priority for their employees. Once I was settled in Denver and started school and was impressed by the support and curriculum made by the instructors. For the first couple of months the days were structured with exercises in the morning, lectures before and after lunch, and then code reviews in the afternoon. The expecation is about 20-30 additiaonal hours outside of class, which is definently the case. If you come into this program, be prepared to work hard and study. There are also several requirements that must be statisfied before you graduate. Along with weekly assessments, there is a personal project, and a class project that must be completed by the end of the program. If you still have questions about those assignments check out my blog. I got into more detail about the expectations of class there.
As we got closer to the end of school there was more of an emphasis on personal/exploratory time where students were allowed to explore other languages, front-end, and other challenges that would assist in the interivew prep for when job-hunting became a factor. I felt that is was harder for me to do because I enjoyed the structure of the program at the beginning and found it harder to focus when given more free time. This is the reason I rated curriculum the lowest out of all the rating categories. I rated instructors and job assistance the highest because no one does this better than gSchool. The insturctors are top notch and can assist students with any problem they might encounter. Also gSchool has a job guarantee which ensures students that they will get all their money back if they cannot find a job that pays more than 60K a year, who does that, right?! To help do this, the instructors work hard to bring in local employers into the office to recruit. For people like me, who are not looking to stay in the Denver area, the instructors helped us by reaching out to their personal network and vouching for you. Since our instructors are top notch, a vouch from them carries a lot of weight to employers and most always guantees a first and second round interview.
I was truly lucky to attend this school. Along with the curriculum, gSchool also provided a lot of opportunities to grow socially as well. I came from another part of the states and left this school with about 30 new friends because of the events gSchool helped plan. I would recommend this school to anyone who wants to make a change to their career. For the first time in my life I bring a unique skill to the table and having these skills make me feel confident and secure when thinking about my future endeavors. I hope you enjoyed reading this and it gave you a unqiue look into my experience. For any more informaiton please take a look at the gSchool page and see the blog posts that I have written.
