I think it is better to assess personal fit for the bootcamp.

Yes, this is correct.

Pair programming was not always optimal due to the large degree of differences between students.

You're good at socializing and very pleasant to be around, and didn't generally had problems finding pair programming partners when you wanted to work with someone. I'm shy, and couldn't even find anyone who wanted to pair program with me most days, even though I was generally interested in working with others, and often asked Jonah or other students if anyone wanted to work together.
