YC has stated several times that they aren't releasing their statistics from now on because they don't want to get into a numbers war with competitors. They've released them for every past cycle; GIYF.

It seems to be a good rule-of-thumb that 10% of applicants will get interviews, and 50% of those interviewed will get funding. I assume that the number of companies funded will still be disclosed (or at least, it will be hard to keep secret), so you can work backward from there.

Do you think it's a good idea for people to publicly announce their failure/success, when their comments are connected to their usernames?

Personally, I would rather keep that kind of information private. This isn't a radio station contest.

On the other hand, I'd love to network with people who've applied at all in the area, whether they get accepted or not...

Anyone interested in a meet up? :)

We are in Milwaukee, WI

We would be happy to meet anyone in a couple hundred mile range.

right.. sorry maybe this should be rephrased as unofficial poll from the submitters.
