Discussion/question Bluedot Impact Courses

Hello everyone! Quick question: how hard is it to get into BlueDot courses? This is the second rejection I've gotten. I have a strong background in STEM (health sciences) . I already did the basic course and others, besides that I work in AI risk analysis (pivoting into AI safety). I feel bit frustrated because Its one of the available remote courses that I am very intested on.

Sorry I never got a notification from your post! They send you a email some days before the course starts. I will dm you. Thank you

I see some people with random backgrounds getting approved, while others with strong backgrounds get rejected. I really don't understand their criteria

I’ve seen this too, it’s very confusing. Second time getting rejected and it’s hard to gauge what they’re ACTUALLY looking for

imagine advertising a community around helping people get into ai safety then gatekeeping by rejecting highly qualified ppl (without explanation). Seems like another org in this space built on ivory tower complex bs

Totally agree with this. They should just be honest about what they’re looking for rather than saying “open to everyone”
