They keep saying "top schools", but lower tier schools have the same gender disparity. And 40% of bootcamp grads might be female, but how much of that is due to the fact that there are bootcamps, apprenticeships, etc. that exist purely to pluck women & underrepresented groups from the mass of mostly-male non-traditional candidates? And other bootcamps that give scholarships preferentially to those groups?
I am pretty confident I would have gotten into LEAP or ADA if I were a woman. Instead I went fully self-taught because I didn't want to pay $20k for a bootcamp.
