Invite or not-- if you applied with an interesting demo or product, and you're able to share it, please do. Would love to see what's cooking.

I wonder if there is any correlation between how much people care about their idea, ending up on this thread, and their likelihood of getting an interview.

I'm so nervous

Whatever happens, it happens for good. Have faith and keep working towards your goal. No matter what if you come this far I can guarantee you all guys will make it big with or without YC's help, so keep smiling and working hard.

No indication of this on the YC page, twitter, or FB. Likely trolling, but we'll know for sure tonight.

EDIT: Definitely trolling. See katm's (I'm guessing Kat Manalac's) post above.

Getting into YCombinator is a means to an end. If YCombinator is your ultimate goal, reconsider where you want to see yourself and your startup.

Get out and build. Get customers. Change the world. The time and energy spent being nervous about this is not productive.

I don't doubt YCombinator will help in tremendous ways (I also applied), but it's important to keep pushing forward in spite of whether you are invited for the interview or not.

Good words, thanks. I made a plan- going to get lunch and walk by the ocean. Pass the time. But getting into YC is a big deal. I obviously won't give up if I don't get in, but getting in is a really huge deal. I've invested so much thought and energy into it for months. I just want to know!

Good for you buddy. The ocean is more beautiful than the grandest of Silicon Valley office space. And startup CEOs usually don't get the time for walks down the beach, so enjoy it! I'd go for a walk by the East River but I'm at work and I don't want to get MRSA from a radioactive sea creature.
