It's great to see some hard data on this!
Were you able to see any patterns in the backgrounds of the bootcamp students?
It doesn't seem too surprising that someone with a physics or finance or mechanical engineering background can learn enough programming skills in three months to be productive. But do students without as much prior experience in quantitative and analytical thinking have as much success?
