New DEAC Schools

Make sure you do your Business Foundations course. Provide peer references if you can (I didn't.) I wore a suit for my interview, which lasted about 15 minutes and focused on why Quantic, why the MBA vs the EMBA, and what I thought about the active learning (the Business Foundations course and app.)

Edit: I should say, I'm not in yet. I find out January 3rd.

 

Oh is not everyone informed on the same day, Dustin?
I thought the February day they mentioned was D-day for everyone :-/

I'm doing the business foundation course now. It's super easy. In a few hours I already reached the 40% mark.
I am worried because I mentioned that I had already applied to work at PWC but maybe I shouldn't have done that because everywhere I read that it's their goal that you get a job through their network.
So now I scr*wed up I think :-(

 

I applied Nov 12 and interviewed Nov 23. The deadline was Dec 6 for the January admission. Did you apply after that?

 

I applied December 12.
I was informed that I will get my admission decision on the 22th of February.

 

Yeah the opaque admissions process is frustrating. There are edutech startups that are more clear about the value exchange, but we'll know when we know.

Edit: Hit post too soon! I was thinking of the Lambda School where you can attend tuition free but once you get a job paying over $50K a year, you start paying back the 30K in tuition based on a percentage of your income.

Edit 2: Lambda tuition is 30K, not 20K. The sleepy editor regrets the error.

 

Finished 52% of the courses already in a few hours.
It goes quite quickly.
Love the learning on the app. Makes things go faster.
