We review applications on a rolling basis. You should receive a confirmation email immediately after you apply, and we will review your application within three weeks.
Most answers have a 1,500 character max length, but you absolutely don't need to write that much.
When writing your application, we encourage you to read about the self-directives and consider how you'll approach them at RC.
We also strongly encourage you to read Applying to RC, About RC, and the FAQ before submitting your application.
We're excited to hear from you!
Please include your first and last name.
This is just for our planning. If you're admitted, you'll be able to pick any batch starting in the next 6 months with open spots.
Paste a link; do not paste your code here. If your code isn't already available on GitHub or another site, you can use something like GitHub's gist. It doesn't need to be long, but it should be something you've written yourself, and not using a framework (e.g., Rails).
If you don't have anything to submit, here are some prompts borrowed from our weekly creative coding sessions at RC to get you going:
Many RC alumni volunteer as interviewers. If there's anyone you know at RC who you'd prefer not be involved in your application process, let us know here. This is completely optional and won't affect your application.
We want the Recurse Center to be a diverse place. We ask for demographic information so we can measure how well we're doing. Sharing this information is optional.
