Before you begin Phase 0, there are prerequisites that need to be met to ensure you are prepared for the experience. Please make sure to complete each task prior to the start of week 1.
Please note, we assume that each student has at least a week to prepare before entering Phase 0. If you have been admitted and have less than a week before phase 0 begins, we will be happy to work with you. Please make sure you at least complete all of the administrative tasks prior to beginning.

####2. Review sections from Ruby Labs in Socrates - do not complete the exercises associated with each. (This is not intended to teach you everything you need for the exercises, but is meant to be a review of the Prep Objectives)
####3. Complete all 20 Exercises in Socrates. If you are confident with each prep objective on ruby, these should take you around 4-6 hours. If not, it will probably take longer, so give yourself some time. It's important to have basic fundamentals before starting Phase 0.
