Poll: Did you get into YC for S11?

[jayzee]

Please only respond if you applied so that we can get as much of an accurate count as possible.

Also if you want to share your start-up and why you think you did/did not make it that would be quite useful too.

Seeing as I haven't received any notice of getting in, I'm going to presume that I didn't get in.

The reasons were probably three-fold, firstly being a considerably younger age than probably all of the other applicants, and the resulting financial dependence on my parents and being in high school would be a huge factor I think because I don't have a fundamental need to start a startup in order to survive. The second reason is probably lack of a co-founder. I'm doing this alone, and I don't like doing it alone myself, but I can deal. The third reason is probably a poorly written application/explanation of what I'm trying to do.

I can understand your disappointment but at the time of your posting it was barely the 7th. It seems you have already discounted yourself long before today happened... which is a shame.

[jasonmccay]

Based on reading their general requirements, the biggest issue was that you were alone. They really want you to have two or more founders...just because of the rigors of running a startup.

[jayzee]

umm... no. They will get back to you if you do not get in. Do not assume that because you have not heard you did not get in.

Please note that this should be changed to: "Did you get invited to YC for S11?"

[jayzee]

Sorry about that. You are right... I should have been clearer.

[csillag]

Oops, clicked yes by accident.

[jayzee]

A freudian click? ;)

[rcamera]

I made a vote by accident, so count -1 in the Yes...

[stray]

Have they already contacted everybody they're going to contact?

[phlux]

No news is bad news it would seem. So I guess that would be No.
