I just emailed you (Psy-Kosh) about your own situation.

To others who have similar questions:

  1. If you'd like to come, do apply, even if you didn't get into the main rationality boot camp. There were a lot of good applicants for the main camp, and that camp is capped at 10 participants, while Mini-camp can accomodate more. Also, if we get too may good applicants, this will let us know that we should run repeat programs later in the year.
  2. While I'm not involved with the main rationality boot camp applications, I believe that, yes, people who haven't heard back (to schedule an interview) won't be accepted to it this time.
  3. I'll make a point of letting people know when I know; I apologize for not doing that in the past with the visiting fellowship applicants.

I was interviewed for rationality boot camp and haven't heard whether I was accepted yet. Would it make more sense for me to apply to the mini-camp right away, or wait until I know whether I'm accepted to RBC?

Wait a couple days, then apply. (But not longer.) (Also, everyone who wants to come and isn't waiting to hear from RBC, please apply today rather than waiting, since the application is brief, it'll give us an immediate estimate of demand, and if you wait you might forget.)
