RC is a company (a YC company actually) that leases expensive NYC real estate and bears all the other costs of running a company while providing its service for free. Unfortunately, it's not a hangout where anyone can join and thus they have to limit space. As for "if you are not good enough"... all the tech interview questions (at least in 2016) are easier or simpler than real job interview questions. The important parts are the soft skills questions. I "studied" with PhDs, bootcamp grads, and college students. And personally, I'm a pretty meh developer. But just like any company, they don't always give the best feedback on rejections.
