Don't you already reject enough people due to class size restrictions?
Sometimes I wish we could pretend-deny everyone who applied to Lambda School just to see true colors come out. Ask for feedback, continue, determined to succeed? Let them in. Accuse us of *-ism, send legal letters, call the admissions team unspeakable things? Dodged a bullet.

Yes, we reject the vast majority of applicants; can only handle so many students at once
-
So you dont have enough candidates for that type of sample/test as is?
-
No I just don’t think it’d be cool to pretend to deny people
-
I think it would erode the good will of the people that you're aiming to serve :/

Presumably you have a limit to the number of people you can accept at any given time. For those that you reject for this reason but do respond positively, perhaps there is a lower cost 2nd tier of service you could provide?

Don’t know what that would be, wouldn’t want to set them up for failure
-
You give students a test every week or two right? Maybe open up the first couple of test to a larger group? Someone that can pass the first N without the help of your instruction maybe goes to the top of the pile for the next cycle?

I had something similar to this for a job when I was 17 for a job at Sears. Yep. Sears. It wasn’t a store policy but the manager of the dept. I ended up getting the job the next day b/c of how I handled myself by wanting to be better the next time. Still talk to this day.

It would make an intriguingly reflective admissions question. "If you don't get in, what do you think the reasons might have been? What would be your next step?"

Have you read (or seen) Ender's Game? It's filled with stuff like that. Very clever stuff actually. BTW, that's a 2way street: saying "no to a school" or recruiter, etc. can be very revealing as well.

Loved that movie

He's a brilliant author (have you read Ender's Shadow? It's at least as good). Too bad Orson Scott Carson (author) is a raging homophobe.
