| Without Open Admits | With Open Admits | |
|---|---|---|
| Work quality | Work limited to school projects and class assignments | Real-world projects built for actual users or clients |
| GitHub presence | GitHub profile empty or minimal, with little activity | Active GitHub with starred repositories, contributors, and forks |
| Design work | Design work restricted to classroom mockups | Design presented as case studies for real client work |
| Admissions visibility | Projects not prominently linked or discussed in applications | Projects prominently featured and cited in applications |
| Differentiation | Many students claim “coding” with little proof of real work | Clear, verifiable, and linkable proof of skill and initiative |
My GitHub had 200+ stars before I applied. Two professors emailed me after reading my application. The portfolio made me real.
Spots are limited. We work with a small cohort each cycle so every student gets genuine attention — not a ticket queue.
We'll teach you, or help you find the right project type for your current skills. Not every strong CS portfolio requires advanced programming.
School projects are a starting point, but the most impressive portfolios include work done independently or for real external clients.
6–12 months for a portfolio that genuinely stands out. Rushing it produces work that admissions readers can tell was made for the application.
Real-world use. A project that real people use, a design used by an actual company, a business plan that won a competition.
