I expect that application evaluators are unconsciously biased against animal welfare as a cause area.
How feasible is it to start collecting data on applicants’ primary cause areas and publishing acceptance ratios for people focused on different areas?
I think this activity would likely do more harm than good as it would be easy to entrench the initial three cause areas involved in EA and privilege them over newer areas
