The application is quick and interesting, and what do you have to lose?
Motivation to get involved later. You may be underestimating the aversive effects of a poor applications-handlng process, and my experience with your operation the past couple times has been so underwhelming that I’m unlikely to even consider applying this time around.
If you want people to take you seriously with that “let us be the ones to say no”, you need to keep the promise of saying no in a timely manner, ideally with a brief personal response. (Though even a form letter would be an improvement.)
For whatever it’s worth, we’ve been reasonably good about timely responses to workshop (and minicamp) applications, just not so good with responses to job applications.
I understand, though, and appreciate your response.
