I interviewed a week and a half ago. Linda made it sound like if you bypass, she might not offer another class date. She said that if she offers you a class date, she wants you in that class. That said, if you want to try to fix it so you get the class you want, set up the interview so that if you got hired, your resignation notice time would put you in a certain class (if you know when classes are scheduled for). They want to put you in the first class they can, or so it seems. So if you need to give 2, 3, or 4 weeks notice, they'll give you the first class after that.
