Totally agree. The application for startup school was short and easy to fill out. Even with the normal YC application, it's basically getting you to write a business plan which is useful in of itself.

Not sure if it'll help anyone, but I feel better when I see the backgrounds of the people who got in:

Wow...great point, 7% female founders in the first 9 pages, and out of 300+ members only 1 AA female and 1 AA male...

Yeah, very telling indeed.

7% female founders in first 10 pages. That's a downer.
