Is it possible to remove negative reviews? They're uniformly 5 stars. I'm actually surprised that there aren't any negative reviews. I would've expected reviewers to be primarily those with strong feelings, either positive or negative.
Another data point, Hack Reactor, with 131 reviews, all 5 stars:

I get that bootcamps are polarizing, but surely those skeptical should at least do some cursory googling to get a sense of the distribution of people's experience who actually go through these programs. I google either of these bootcamps and in the first two hits I get links to review sites with dozens of detailed reviews filled with effusive praise and particulars on the programs.
- busterarm 11y agoa/A and Hack Reactor are outliers in the market, IMO. Flatiron School and Dev Bootcamp might also be okay. Even though I might have misgivings about GA, I have a friend who works there and know several employed grads as well who loved it. There are many others in this market that I would run the other way from, but different programs work for different people. There's a review site that's helpful in researching these programs here: https://www.coursereport.com/ https://www.coursereport.com/ There are some negative reviews for most programs here.
