One of the biggest growth problems I'm facing at @LambdaSchool is convincing people this is in fact not a scam, and that we really produce great junior engineers.pic.twitter.com/hqrYEv1sND
CEO @LambdaSchool (YC S17): A CS education that's free until you get a job. I have made remarks that I do not agree with.

Does it really matter? Its the students that you have that matter, not the ones that you don't right? This won't matter due to word of mouth in 1-2 years
Once your first couple batches of students get out, you could do extensive data collection and video testimonials on their experience and results. I imagine that you have a ton of inbound interest regardless of this issue anyways?
We do get a lot of applications on a daily basis, but around 50% of those applications get disqualified during the application process due to things like not being able to commit to full-time, not being 18, or not being able to legally work in the US.
So, of the applications that make it through, are they still not filling your maximum class/cohort capacity?
We're hitting our growth numbers so far. But I don't want to just hit them. I want to be crushing them :)
How many classes/students have graduated so far? Why not have them participate in a referral program?
First class is just getting ready to graduate. @AustenAllred has already done a test run on a referral program. It's something I plan on building out more formally as well.
Video testimonial or exit interview could be a required assignment to all graduating students btw. Use the best as promotional material and the worst as a lesson on how to improve?
Haha wow, you guys work fast (and hard! ), its a privilege to learn what I do from your accounts.
