looking at some applications that got into YC (not fellowship though), it seems biggest 'mistakes' are 1 - wasting even one word not sharing more, enthusiasm hurts you in this case; 2 - technical founders, 3 - team of COfounders. I believe you can pass with one of those 3 'rules', but just the one. Nevertheless, I'll love to help them learn from their mistakes.

So 6500.. Suppose partners spend 2 min per application. That's 24 working days (9 hour per day with no breaks). Knowing the system with which they'll cut down this time sure must be awesome. Getting selected here is like graduating Ivy League and winning the lottery at the same time:D
