Hey, has anyone done the GW Boot Camps, especially Data Analytics Program? Appreciate any good insight on their programs.

Does anyone have a similar experience? I interviewed with recruiters from two of "Big 4".

I wonder why the partners even not bothered to interview me. If it matters, I am a CPA with 3 years non-PA experience and applied for experienced associate positions. I appreciate any insights.
