It's crazy to me that Lambda School actually works. We train people free. Online. They finish. They learn to program. They get jobs. They pay back.

I would like to hear ideas. More alternatives—>more acceptance—>more opportunities, lower cost. I like what
@DiscoverPraxis and@MissionU are doing, but will the super selective model actually scale? -
Not sure accepting <10% of applicants is the best way to get employers on board. But I get it. The best of the best will validate those programs overall.
-
I think that’s mostly a facade. It’s hard *not* to accept < 10%
-
That’s what those programs are currently promoting. We had 5000 applicants, only accepted 100 (not real numbers, but you get the idea). They are really new, so...
-
Ya that’s meaningless
-
How so? Because they are new?
-
Because any school that’s free upfront can get thousands of garbage applications easily. The total number of applicants is a meaningless number IMO
