I have and awsome idea for a web site that I really think can be successful. The thing is though, will the fact that I am only a Freshman, Comp Sci student prevent me from being accepted right of the bat?

I really how it won't because I really feel like I have a hit.

It definitely won't automatically cross your name off the list. I'm sure your application will be treated seriously. Remember that ideas don't go as far with YC as they used to, I believe a link to a screencast is the preferred way to demo your product.
