That's it? There's no interview or coding test? I'm all for a quick process, but I've never seen a tech company accept interns like this. Or does accepted mean you've been accepted for an interview at a YC company?
I get a blank screen....

This is all perception of whether YC will actually follow this method of course..

An interesting point. I doubt if it would be used for that, but it could be.
Sure you're eventually going to interview, but this could open a company up to potential actions by a much larger pool than just people who made it to the in person interview.
I ask this because there are a growing number of schools (including mine) that have full time Intern/Co-op programs in during the Fall and Spring semesters that I know would have interested and talented students.

Furthermore, because interns are the testing pool. The turnover of selecting quality interns and seeing how they turn out over a summer internship would provide good data for whoever the startup is doing this.
