You're coached to be confident through interviewing. Advice like "apply for anything saying up to five years of experience required". Combine that with a lot of grads who aren't experienced in interviewing can lead to that sort of issue. The biggest thing I'd look for is side projects. The people doing side projects were generally the one who were keeping up, and actually had an interest.

I think Lambda was also a lot more selective towards the beginning (when there were like 12 people in a class) vs now where I think the class size is in the lower three figure range?
