        Are you afraid of scaling too fast? That seems to have been the issues with a lot of coding schools/bootcamps

        :/ 250 people a month isn't slow anyway you look at it. Idk, I just don't want LS to go down the same path as other failed programs

        5 different cohorts, 50 students/cohort on average. Not that crazy.

        👍 That’s great for a self-paced. Bet the cohorts help a lot. Measuring grit through the prework is super smart as well.

        I know the classes are synchronous, but if they are not learning as fast as the cohort they don’t progress and the cohort does, right? What do you call it?

        are able to become more stringent in your acceptance requirements or is it mostly the same as 6-12 months ago?

        It's become much more stringent around what precourse work we require a student to complete

        but that's after they've already been admitted or precourse work simply to apply for the program?

        You can be admitted before doing the precourse work but if you don't pass the test you won't be able to start classes.

        You can do it! I was nervous about starting two months ago, but I’ve learned an insane amount since then and gained a lot of confidence. It can be tough, but you’ve got this!

        How do you deal with companies who have a bias against new grads? The ones who come back with an irrational “ah but you don’t have enough in-work experience.”
