Still you've got to set expectations and provide people with clear
instructions. Especially if they have to reapply.

As a Developer Advisory Team member I talk to many folks who seem ready
to apply and I can feel how some of them are quite nervous about
applying, some just don't want to do it. Every single declined
application has an additional impact on people who are nervous about
applying. So if there's a way how we can minimise the amount of declined
applications (and I'm not talking auto-accept), I think that'd help.
Clear expectations and clear instructions, maybe some prior consultation
might help a lot here.

Have a great day,
 Daniel
