I'm applying! I already have the funds saved for the plane ticket. I'm coming from the East coast. I wanted to apply last year but a.) I didn't have the funds and 2.) I wasn't confident in my coding skills as I am now. I'm super excited, because even if I don't get in I'll still be one step better than where I was last August :)
I'm a little uncertain about housing, but worst case scenario, I'm willing to take a same day flight back.
