We recommend that you take 2 courses per week so that you can complete the entire course by week 3, which enables you to focus on the class competition in week 4. If you do not make the top 10, completing the entire course by week 3 enables you to work on 2 personal proposals by week 4, and get feedback from the GSS team.

FAQs:

Can I transfer to a future cohort if I miss classes?

No. We don't offer transfers between cohorts. Here's why: As a registered student, you already have one full year access to all course materials, including recordings of every live session. This allows you to complete the program at your own pace regardless of your circumstances. We typically extend assignment submission deadlines briefly after the cohort ends to help students catch up. If you miss these windows, you can still learn through the materials at your convenience. If you absolutely must have the live experience with personalized feedback, you're welcome to enroll in a future cohort at the regular enrollment fee.

Remember: Your success is our priority, and the knowledge is available to you for a full year after enrollment
