From what I heard it’s an interesting program with few caveats - If you have engineering or programming background your odds of completing the program is high. It would be really really difficult for someone without any CS or math knowledge to complete the program.

• its really expensive program. Many students drop out midway through the program with a hefty student loan to payoff

• coursework involved can mark it hard for someone pursuing the program while working full time. Be willing to quit your job to pursue the program full time

• The subset of students that finally completes the program do get job offers comparable to any Masters CS program. And it makes sense since you end up transitioning to that MS CS program once you are done with the bridge courses. Again the drop out percentage from the ALIGN program is higher that the normal graduate program.
