its hard to identify a good candidate. I think a combination of votes, the discussion that happened and then obviously standard evaluation of idea, market, etc is a good strategy. So many ideas are amazing. May the best ideas win. I think for the ones that do make to top list but not to yc fellowship, it would be really helpful for them if one of the YC partners can provide brief feedback/advice/direction to them.
