Startup school emails are confusing. First I received a rejection email than acceptance email - I would have rejoiced - but the 'Get Started' Link goes to 'We will let you know by August 20th' page.

Same boat. I imagine there's still some data to fix on their end.

This should be fixed now.

We feel awful about this and we're working on a solution. We'll have more to share in the next 24 hours, hopefully sooner. Edit: ok, here's what we've got: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17806459 .

Update: we will have something to share tonight, and I think people will be pretty happy :)

Thank you

This mistake does not make YC look bad, we don't feel good for sure, but everybody makes mistakes, those videos you put on Youtube help startups everyday, I think you guys are all exhausted, an apology and more info is enough, $10K is nothing, the network we should've built is what we've missed.

Would anyone be interested in starting a group for rejected apps? I think we could all use this mishap as a motivational boost.

can we start a slack channel and Audit as a group? co-advise each other. we can call it "the Slacker Start Up school for Start Ups that Can't Read Good and Want to Do Other Stuff Good Too"

Created a slack group: https://join.slack.com/t/startupschool-rejects/shared_invite...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Sorry about that. I had a different experience. First rejected and then accepted. Seems like one of the boolean flags was messed up.

Can you share your idea / stage?

Fintech industry, we're in the development stage.
