I think that's a given. I don't think any school has ever claimed to take someone from 0 to developer in 3 months. That's unrealistic.
There's obviously a baseline below which any short, high intensity training course isn't viable.
A similar analogue would be baseline fitness levels expected out of candidates at, well, real bootcamps. If you can't jog more than a block or do 1 pushup, chances of making it through are relatively slim.
- Crito 13y agoYeah, on second thought the "barely" in "barely more charitable" is going to far. Universities definitely do the same thing (though to the credit of universities, they are up front (or even brag) about having stringent admission standards). Your standard university CS department has no problem accepting freshman who have never even heard of HTML, but they are also operating on a different timescale. In universities it is reasonable to spend a few months getting freshman up onto their feet. When the entire program is a few months, you have to operate differently.

Moreover, HTML has very little to do with CS. You can probably graduate with a CS degree and know virtually nothing about HTML (and that's not a bad thing.)
