Ah, my bad; I misread.  But the sad reality is that even 1 out of 85 is still doing better than most bootcamp grads nowadays.  I'd say look at the master's degree program, then, since the bootcamp wont help you land interviews.

If you frame a 3 week long bootcamp project as a year of experience and then ask your bootcamp for a letter of reference and they give it to you without fact checking it can help. It's why you see recruiting banning Codesmith, but even the people that ban it admit that people fall through the cracks every now and then. Codesmith doesn't know anything about this though and denies this happens... so they won't tell you this is how it works.
