The 2021 virtual Summer Intensive will take place Mon-Fri from July 12th through August 20th, split between A.M. and P.M. sessions.

Additionally, Aug. 19th is Demo Day, where students present their final projects. This is the only day that ends later at 8:30pm.

Traditionally, students are placed in a class of 20 students at locations across New York City, Jersey City, or Pittsburgh. These host sites are provided by our program partners and have included Google, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Medidata, Major League Baseball, Carnegie Mellon University, and many others. Although the 2020 and 2021 Summer Intensive have shifted to a virtual model, our students will still have the opportunity to interact with their host site through unique workshops, mentorship sessions, and more!

No! Our All Stars shine 🌟 in all sorts of ways, and grades are just one way to shine. GPA is NOT used in our admissions process.
We do collect GPA data for our statistics, though!

After completing the Summer Intensive, many students continue building their programming skills through freelance work, college internships, or working as a seasonal instructor here at All Star Code, among many other opportunities. Additionally, all Scholars (program alumni) receive invitations to join our Scholar Portal for exclusive internships, jobs, and workshops.

Note for Scholars: If you have already attended our Summer Intensive program, please do not reapply. Students are only allowed one Summer Intensive experience.

Applicants can expect a notification of acceptance between 2-6 weeks after applying. We try our best to process applications quickly.

Absolutely! Given the limited number of seats 💺 available, many applicants will qualify for the program but will not be selected in the first round. Applicants on the waiting list will be invited to join as spots become available.

At the end of each month, we will reach out to applicants who show the best chance for success in the Summer Intensive. These ideal candidates will be invited to the second part of the application, which offers applicants a chance to better respresent themselves via 3 short-answer questions. These applicants have approximately 2 weeks to complete Part 2.

Final decisions will be made based on applicants' demonstration of All Star Skills. Offers will be sent out at that time, and applicants have 2 weeks to accept offers.

Given the intensive nature of the program, students must not miss any day during the first week of the program. The first week is a zero-tolerance week.

Day 1: If a student is absent on the first day of the program, July 12th, their seat is forfeit.

A student is considered absent if they login to their virtual classroom 30 minutes past the scheduled start time. Students with 3 absences will be dismissed from the program.

For each absence, the student's Parent/Guardian is informed and the student must attend Office Hours until they are caught up with the missed material.

Three latenesses = 1 Absence
A student is considered late if they are not present by the scheduled start time.
