If you're interested in gSchool, you should take a look at the following:

http://catalystclass.com/

http://devbootcamp.com/ (mentioned elsewhere in this thread)

http://appacademy.io/

http://hackbrightacademy.com/

http://flatironschool.com/

All are based in SF, except Flatiron, which is in NYC.

(I'm a cofounder at Catalyst. Ask me anything!)

I fully buy into the value of apprenticing and have been trying to get into a program since moving to SF this summer. You'll be seeing my application shortly. Any suggestions on the video that would maximize my chances of acceptance?

Don't read from a script. Be yourself. Talk about something you think is really interesting. Looking forward to reading your application!

It's sent!

be original! While I don't run the program, I know Jim Deters well, and if you email me: [e-mail], I can put in a good word.
