From several friends who have worked there, the administration has been doing a crap job at LaunchX the past two years. They’ve overexpanded to the point that they can’t deliver quality education anymore; the instructors have decreased in quality for sure as they can’t secure good speakers and educators.
They’re more focused on profit than quality; it’s not fun either said numerous students the past two years. Check out their facebook page. Just ask any recent student; it’s a load of crap said 20+ of my friends who went.
The LaunchX high school program went bankrupt, what does that say about LaunchX in general? A lot.
Also, admit rates have not remained competitive. There’s a reason why they release the cumulative acceptance rate over the 7 years; in the past two years, admit rates have skyrocketed due to expanding locations and program sizes which sounds good, but again quantity should not be prioritized over quality…
This… I have heard the same about LaunchX. it has lost its cache at top schools…no longer exclusive etc. If comparing to M&TSI, there is no comparison which is more competitive to be accepted etc.
