We're not going to quote the number any more. The reason is that we now have competitors, and we don't want to get in an application number war. It's easy to get massive numbers of applications by encouraging applications from people you know you won't accept: for example, undergrads who don't really want to drop out of school. We don't want to tempt anyone to do that.

I believe he means competitors like Tech Stars.

Competitors? Like, in the same style as YC? Or just regular VC's aiming lower, in the small investment / seed stage direction?

Do you think the answer could possibly be No?

Let me phrase this better.

I know its early but how is this season comparing with the ones in the past? Do you see any interesting trends?

If there's any trend worth to analyze, pg would write another essay and I'd rather read that :-)
