I don't think i've ever been this excited/scared. Getting this means I can justify ditching uni.

Still waiting. They received about 2,000 applications and typically call in 80 to interview from what I've heard.

We have still not heard back, but I think I read in a YC alumnus blog that the emails are sent out in the afternoon/night. Don't recall if it's just when they got theirs or if it's like that for everyone. It may be something to keep in mind for those that are anxious to hear back...

Best of luck to all!

Interesting... Where did you find that number? While more than last year, it's not quite as many as I would have expected, given the new 150k incentive.
