How I got into Launchcode LC101

For those who don't know, LaunchCode was founded in 2013 to help companies find skilled, new tech talent from all backgrounds and walks of life by offering free boot camps to train web developers.  Aspiring web developers are taught Javascript and Java. The process to get into the boot camp consists of a short application asking why you want to be a Launchcoder and completing a problem-solving assessment which in my opinion requires some prior coding knowledge.  After the completion of the timed assessment, you sit and wait up to two weeks to hear back if you got "provisionally accepted".  You are not officially accepted until you complete the prework that consists of reading 3 chapters, taking a quiz where the questions are asked within the reading, and a demographic form that includes uploading your resume.  So, I am officially enrolled in the class because I completed all the requirements.  I start my first class tomorrow, Monday, August 12th.  My schedule is Monday and Thursdays from 5:30-8:30pm for 20+ weeks.  I should be finished on Jan 30, 2020.
