Fair enough.

We take 100% responsibility for taking a student in our first cohort over 1 year ago; who was not prepared, did not do the work in or after the program.

We have learned from our mistake.

We now have extensive per work, coding challenges (gates on all phases) and accept only 3.16% of the students that apply.

That's like a little kid who, when told to make an apology, says "I'm sorry you're so ugly."

Wow, I think that response was even worse. Blaming the student even more.

PS: Hi Josh!

That is perhaps the most passive aggressive "apology" I've ever seen.

The first rule of apologies is it's only ok to apologize for your own actions, not the behavior or feelings of others.

Why not round it down to an even 3.14% and keep it at Pi?
