Is WSO Academy worth it for non-targets?

I recently had an interview with WSO and I’m highly considering joining the Academy. Wanted to know from others who were in the Academy; is it really worth the six grand? I am at a non-target school with little to no relevant experience. Would really appreciate any sort of insight.
