Hi Sean,

We had way more demand than we expected so while you may have applied for October, we were only able to get you a spot for November. We're doing this to make sure that you have all the support you need in the program. If we tried to take everyone in the October batch we wouldn't have been able to deliver the quality we wanted as our human support services are not quite ready for that scale yet but will be ready by November. Hope that answers the question!

Hi Dhruv,thanks for taking time and answer my question, I weren't keep track the application, so I didn't realize the changes. One more question, so is this nanodegree also has the same guarantees that helping someone to land on a related job within 6 months after graduated?

There are three cohorts at the beginning, 500 starts in October, 1500 in November, and 2500 in December. I'm at the November batch like you, paid the fee already.

For mine, it says December 12.. I guess they have different terms? Dhruv, could you confirm?

I recieved an email as well, however mine says January of 2017. I haven't seen anything about registering either.

Hey rerock,

That's exactly right. We have terms opening on different months so that you have a community of students you do the program with.
