I used Stanford as an example, but plenty of companies focus on CS grads from big state schools like Purdue, Michigan, Ohio State, etc that have similar resumes. In my experience, graduates from 4-year CS programs with some internship experience vastly outperform bootcamp grads as a group. I have hired and worked with some outstanding bootcamp grads, but you would never know that they stood out before actually interviewing them since most bootcamps have standard resume templates they tell their grads to use. In an era of 200+ applicants/day for every junior engineering role, you need to be able to tell that someone probably has what it takes to succeed after a 30 second resume scan.
