Still haven't gotten a yay or nay yet, fingers aching from being crossed so long ;) I haven't seen anyone say they've been accepted yet on either this or this (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10467290) thread, only regjections, but a number of others still waiting for an answer one way or another.

Got rejected too! I want to encourage everyone, it's not the end of the world. It's normal to be sad, but determination is one of the most valuable traits in an entrepreneur. I plan to reapply in the next session mainly because of the invaluable advice YC can give. Good luck guys!

Not sure if nervous is the right word. Excited perhaps. YC is just one path which might lead to whatever goal you have.

Am not expecting much, but would be pleasantly surprised should I have the chance to meet the partners for an interview. Otherwise it's heads down making things happen!

We just had a terrible rainstorm and I just got water splashed at me by a car lol.

Lets hope the luck turns around.

Fortunately, your entry into YC is completely disconnected from the weather in your area.
