"We are deeply sorry to have to send this email, but unfortunately an error occurred in the software that triggers acceptance emails. The acceptance email was sent to you even though we are unfortunately not able to include you in the Startup School Advisor Track.
Although you are not in the Advisor Track, you have, in fact, been accepted to audit Startup School and will have access to all of the content just as soon as it is made available.
Again, we regret having made this error and raised your expectations unnecessarily. We hope you continue working on your startup and that Startup School is a huge help."
- rboyd 8y agowow same. ours was kind of a last minute effort so I was shocked and had pretty grounded expectations, but man my heart goes out to anyone that was already celebrating (quite a few on Twitter).

- kilroy123 8y agoGot the same. Not cool.
- tolth 8y agoGot the same. Wow.
- mwseibel 8y agoOnce again I just wanted to say we are really sorry for this error. This is not the standard we hold ourselves to at YC. I personally apologize to the companies that were both rejected and accepted. Trust that this provides us with even more motivation to make sure that Startup School is great for all participants.
- torartc 8y agoVery upsetting. :(
