It's a bummer that they don't do the interviews/final answers until after the first couple weeks of January.

I'd love to take a semester off and do this, but since there's no guarantee I'd get into Hacker School, I would want to have my usual classes to fall back on, and the payment for that is due the first week of January. If I did get into Hacker School, I'd rather not drop the university classes I'll already have paid for.

Maybe this summer the timing will work out better. I'm sure I could learn more in three months there than I ever would here :I
