If you're graduating hundreds of students per month, you can't be very selective on the entrance criteria, right? I'm skeptical that there's a curriculum out there that's so good it can turn thousands of "whoever happened to apply" students into $90k starting-salary junior devs, year in and year out. That's way over the average in most markets.

We accept <5% of applicants, but our admissions process isn't what you'd think. It's mostly based on grit and determination, we don't care about your resume.

In order to maintain that 5% grit & determination bar while realizing your goal of 3k annual graduates, you will need to attract more applicants than Harvard does.
