- malandrew 16y agoyup, there are way to many biases that will impact you data. Expect at least 1000 applications. However, with all the popular press YCombinator and PG himself have received over the last 6 months, I expect this to be by far the largest applicant pool so far. I image that the applicant pool with be bimodal. Apparently every year the applicant pool has become much more competitive, however I also expect a lot of people that are naive about what it takes to apply because startups are the hot new thing. I'm curious to know if in the end this is both the strongest and weakest YC pool so far. Yesterday, PG said that each partner reads about 800 applications each, so expect at least that many.
