totally ready to get my awesome "rejection letter" lol. =x. it looks like you get the rejections first and then the acceptance letters. hoping to get a response early might be counter-intuitive to the response you're looking for. =/

#14Reading old articles about the YC application process, it always seems like the teams accepted were emailing/skyping/etc with yc partners throughout the process.
Is it indicative of a rejection if you haven't had any correspondence with YC since submitting the app? I'm hoping not because nowadays there are just so many more apps.

Just chill. We were selected for YC interview last year and we talked/emailed/skyped with partners only when we were selected for interview. I believe teams start talking with partners only when they are accepted for interview.

Thanks! I'd chill, but I've decided to base my entire self-worth on this.

I know that's an easy feeling to slip into (if you're serious), but it doesn't make any sense to feel that way. You know everything about your startup, all of its nuances and exactly how you'll change the world. PG and team know what you happened to write in response to a few questions on a very short application, and a 1 minute video. On top of that, they have to sift through thousands of these apps. There's no doubt that these guys are very good at what they do, but even if you're the next Bill Gates (or Steve Jobs if you prefer), there's a very good chance you'll get overlooked. Incidentally both Gates and Jobs started their companies sans YCombinator.
That said, best of luck!
