Do you think Olin could ever morph to this model? Headwinds seem large: ed style is hands on (impossible to decentralize), students overwhelmingly seem to reject the link between educational outcome and employability (incorrect or not), and has proved to be hard to scale.

To hedge my comment: I am much more bullish on the future of
@LambdaSchool's model scaling than I am Olin's-- but I think Olin's may produce much higher variance in outcomes, and thus more interesting/larger (although fewer) success stories1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
Both very good points. It's quite hard to imagine Olin morphing into this model because of our highly collaborative, hands-on approach, the same reason MOOC's aren't for us. But schools like

afaik Lamdba students work on roughly the same number of large group projects as an Olin student will in four years, just decentralized.
