Michael, I've been contacted by Formation and I replied to an email from Mackenzie with some questions mid February. They have yet to get back to me. I assume it'll be faster to ask you questions directly: I'm curious about joining Formation but since the schedule and material be

Hey, feel free to DM me if you want me to look into your specific case, it's hard to generalize what happened or if there was a miscommunication perhaps.
To give some more info:
- There is no fixed schedule or fixed materials. Every week you get a new schedule of small group sessions, practice and benchmarks to work on based on how you did the previous week, and eventually you'll get to real mock interviews to sign off that you are at the top tier performance bar. A small caveat is no two Fellows will have the same experience or materials and our job is to sign off that you are at the top tier interview performance bar as efficiently as we think we can get you there, rather than by exhaustively covering fixed materials. That's why the time it takes, the time per week, etc... are all very ambiguous and fuzzy because we don't want to mislead you into thinking there is anything fixed about the timeframe or materials.
- You can withdraw in the first 7 days before paying anything/locking in your payment, and then after that, the refund policy kicks in depending on how many weeks you were there. With the fixed-time subscription option (which is the same day to day as the Fellowship, but for a fixed amount of time and you leave wherever your skills are at) you also have 7 days to leave with no cost, but you pay for unit of time at a time and there are no refunds once you pay for a month.
