It does work though. There're countless posts on the net (Reddit, Medium, personal websites) where Capstone grads mention being encouraged to actively look for mid or senior positions.

Yup, and in info sessions they say that your OSPs are mid level and senior projects that will hundreds and thousands of stars. Or one project that got a tweet once from a prominent React figure that it was a 'good idea' has been now become 'industry experts love the projects'.
They are no, most don't get those stars, and the main source of people starring it are Codesmith residents themselves, and posting in the broader Codesmith CSX community to people who have just started learning how to code.
Marketing is marketing but when challenged on this marketing they double down and I'm shared all kinds of things staff and residents say to push back against me... they truly unequivocally believe at all levels of the company that these projects are genuinely mid level and senior work.
