I'm very interested to see statistics on "% of people from the US who were accepted" vs. "% of people from other countries who were accepted", divided by country. YC's general statement "29% of the companies were from outside the US" is not equal to my question. I feel the bias somewhere here. Non-native speakers have much harder times because of different basic things like the language barrier, but something tells me that the US-based people are in priority.
