No, I read this that if you are accepted to YC accelerator you will get the $150k (or whatever it is) but not the $15k in addition to the $150k. If you are not accepted into YC and only into startup school then it is the $15k assuming you meet all the other criteria.

Does that make more sense?

It might be me being legalistic, but technically it says accepted, not accepted and enter. I think because they mandate you apply to the core program, that I am wondering about the technicalities.

I get that if you do enter the core program, you don't also get the $15k, that makes sense.
