Hey! Great questions. We limit the first batch for two reasons: 1. This is the first batch of the program ever and we want to make sure it's great before opening it up. We want to use this batch to learn and improve and then focus on larger class sizes. 2. One unique thing about Udacity is we provide real human services throughout the program such as a mentor, a code reviewer, and a career support rep. Many of these individuals are actually current or former students of our program. Since this program has never been done before, we are limited in how many such people we can find. Once we get more students in the program, that pool will naturally expand. Best of luck and thanks for applying!
