You mean, you scored 85% and you weren't selected for the program.

Yaay I'm in. Beginner Android Track

Chigojude:


I guess I wasn't selected...when is the next cohort application starting. I really desire to be an Andelan.

The course is online. You would have to open an Udacity account to take the courses. But you should wait to get instructions. You would need data too... lots of it because course content is delivered through videos.

You can decide to get all the videos of the course content at once but the courses are designed in such a way that there is a progress monitor for your account for every video you watch. This progress monitor would be part of your assessment. So in the end, there is no escaping watching the videos online.

You would be invited to a slack channel and subsequently, organized into WhatsApp groups. The slack channels would be very crowded and rowdy; so don't let it overwhelm you. Just follow instructions and you would be fine. The WhatsApp groups would be saner.

Then there are going to be physical meetups which are organized and grouped by your state of residence and location. The meetups are basically to go over the course content and smoothen out areas that people are having issues with.

I suggest that you be active at meetups. Let people know that there is a problem you can solve for them. At my meetup, I was the gradle guy. If anyone had issues with Android studio, I was the go to guy. Contribute too. Watch the videos and understand them before going for the meetups. It would enable you help others.

I got a job offer from the guy handling the meetup I used to attend because of this. I declined the offer though.

Then don't default on your assignments. And do them yourself. A lot of people look for ways to boycott not doing the assignments. But they are putting themselves in poo. The course is designed in such a way that the knowledge builds up. By doing the assignments, you apply what you have learnt and you can judge yourself if you are lagging in some areas.

If you can lay hands on study materials for the track you applied for, it would be a good thing too. So that you can hit the ground running once the course starts.

If you are for web, install the necessary software you would need like code editor ( I would suggest VS Code). Jeffery Way of laracasts.com just published a VS Code series that you should take a look at. I know the web track would be using the MEAN (MongoDB, Express, Angular and NodeJS) stack. So you should also find a way to install node.js and Mongo DB.

The total size of the packages of the MEAN stack should not be over 1GB. I'm not sure though.

If you are for the Android track; then install Android studio. Believe me, this would save you a lot of stress later. The reason is because to install Android studio and get it functional, you would need to install the Java SDK. Android Studio version 3.0 currently clocks in at almost 2GB for the installer. Then you would need to download SDK libraries.

And please, these softwares are not things you can easily come across in computer village. You would only come across them from developer geeks like you. So, spending time to prepare for the course is time well spent.

In the end, starting is easy; finishing is the hard part. All the best

yeah bro

bjhaid:
just got this from andela tho

Same mail was sent to me today. Had 80% but didn't make it.

bjhaid:
yeah bro

I would advice you to be patient. So many things are responsible for not getting in. One of them is applying late. Chimdi the program coordinator tweeted that they received over 1000 applications in the first 24hours that the applications were made open.

I would also advice that you befriend someone who has gotten in. The person can give you the videos and you would follow along. If they are given assignment, do it. Follow them learn the thing. The only difference is that you won't have a certificate to back it up.

This was how I learned how to use a computer. I would collect the handouts of my friends who enrolled for desktop publishing in those days and look for somewhere to practice. Today, none of them can match me when it comes to computer knowledge.

Bless up

bjhaid:
yeah bro

This is serious, I wasn't selected also. I scored 65%, I thought that was the reason I wasn't selected not until you said 85%. The selection might be random or FIFO. Based on the mail they sent to us, we would be placed on the custom programme, but we might not receive certificate since we are on the waiting list.
