I find this "where you went to school" concept to be the most contentious aspect of YC selection. It shouldn't be contentious because it doesn't matter. It's nothing like as important as the answer to the "most impressive thing you've built or achieved" question. When I'm reading through applications, the school a founder went to barely registers. I'm more interested in whether they've clearly explained what they're doing and whether they seem determined enough to pull it off.
