(RC cofounder here.) Sorry to hear our previous answer wasn't clear. Yes, residencies are an invite-only thing, however, everyone is welcome to apply to attend RC :) We recently updated our User's Manual (see: https://www.recurse.com/manual#sec-residents https://www.recurse.com/manual#sec-residents) with more info about residents, including what we look for and that they're selected via invitation (typically after being suggested by current members of our community). I hope this helps!
