So I am confused. I got accepted in advisor track and then now its saying I am accepted for auditor track. So am I in? or am I not?

Hi everyone, after all this, we believe the right thing to do is to accept everyone into Startup School, so we're going to find a way to make this work. More info here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17806459
