Interesting, I didn't know that Hacker School was completly free, but given that it has small room for new students... it can be complicated to get into.
Anyways I live 8600km away from New York, would be difficult :P
Difficult, maybe, but seeing as you're commenting on an article about someone who lives almost 12000 km away and is going, it's clearly not impossible :)
Unless you already live in NYC, your current location shouldn't be very relevant.
