I'm curious about the number of applicants vs number accepted. Has the number of applicants gone up dramatically each year?

- pg 19y agoActually it was slightly lower this year. 1108 vs around 1200 last year. We hate rejecting people, and since we always have more applicants than there are seats for, we deliberately made little effort to promote it. We didn't ask Techcrunch to write about it, and I even took the links off my site several days before the deadline. Because there was so little marketing, the quality of the average applicant was extremely high. 90% were pretty solid hackers.
- johns 19y agoI'm assuming since Kresge only holds about 600 people, that's about how many attendees were accepted (give or take a little bit for cancelations).
