Admissions feedback - Recurse Center

The Recurse Center is a self-directed, community-driven educational retreat for programmers in New York City.

Admissions feedback We don’t give feedback about our admissions decisions. We realize this can be frustrating, so we want to explain why. The short version is: We gave feedback in the past, it took a lot of time, and we don’t think it was very effective for us or for applicants. Here’s the longer answer. For many batches, we gave applicants the most helpful and honest feedback we could. We didn’t always get back to everyone (and sometimes it took us way too long to respond) but on the whole, we shared candid feedback with the majority of people who asked for it. This process was time-consuming
