MATS ML Alignment Theory Scholars program - Footnote 71

Note: The source does not mention the acceptance rate of 15%. The source does not explicitly state that proficient researchers and engineers with AI safety experience frequently receive rejections due to mentor capacity limits rather than candidate quality, although it does imply that mentor capacity is a factor. The source does not explicitly mention that application processes involve mentor-specific interviews on ML experience, research proposals, conceptual questions, and experiments, but it does mention that these topics were discussed during interviews.
