To us, top tier doesn't solely mean "best at technical skills". It's also composed of great communicator, professional presentation, people person, etc.
You need to be good at what you do but that's only part of what we consider a quality developer.
I did sign up a while ago but I wasn't able to get the phone interview managed (which doesn't speak well for professional presentation I suppose.) I'll probably try again once I get a current job behind me.
