Maybe it is the large batches themselves. What if, instead of a bi-annual intake of two large batches YC moved to an always open intake with classes starting every month. That is, to stream many small batches continuously. Effectively running 12 academic years concurrently rather than 2.
Everything from lean manufacturing to project management has come out in favour of the small batch size, maybe the thing to do is to work out how to split the existing large batches into many smaller batches.
This might also help increase your learning as you would have a much tighter feedback loop.
