If you applied to YC this cycle, please put your email address in your profile
Tonight we're going to email everyone who applied for summer 2011. We use the email address in the email field of the HN account used to apply. So if you applied, please check that you have a working email address (not foobar AT gmail.com) in the email field of your profile.
(That field is not publicly visible, as you can see if you try logging out and looking at your profile.)
- rottencupcakes 16y agoIf you want to live chat about applications and acceptances with prior YC founders and other applicants, you can do so in the Convore (a YC W2011 company) https://convore.com/yc-s11-apps/ https://convore.com/yc-s11-apps/
- pg 16y agoI'm there intermittently answering questions.
- blazer 16y agoI just started a poll over there & made a php script to display result with charts. http://karthi.us/tools/yc/results.php http://karthi.us/tools/yc/results.php I hope this may help someone, who are interested to know some stats :)
- alexsb92 16y agoWhile the group chat with a whole bunch of people who applied and are waiting for responses is here: http://wompt.com/chat/yc http://wompt.com/chat/yc

- JoshKalkbrenner 16y agoNice!
- abtinf 16y agoYou can also chat about applications over at the wompt chat room - we've been going strong all night! http://wompt.com/chat/yc http://wompt.com/chat/yc
- 619Cloud 16y agoI prefer this chat interface over convore.

- abtinf 16y agoIt certainly works on current versions of iOS, and works great on ipad too. What version of iphone software are you using?

- kingsidharth 16y agoAt least it's readable. Convore hurts my eyes =/
- bmelton 16y agoBetter -- just put your email address in your 'about' section as well. If not, you are probably missing out on contact from other HNers.

- acconrad 16y agoThere's nothing wrong with gmail, he's saying don't write your email as "name at gmail dot com" as some people do this to prevent automatic spam bots. Instead, write it as "name@gmail.com" so it's easier to email/copy+paste.
- chrismanfrank 16y agoThey will send all the emails at once "something this evening CA time". source: https://convore.com/yc-s11-apps/high-school-students-that-applied/ https://convore.com/yc-s11-apps/high-school-students-that-ap...
- gumbo 16y agoi Guess i need to go home and have some sleep (already 9pm). Can't stay there waiting for that email. I guess, i'll wake up in the night to work on the product: a way to say to myself, getting the interview is not the end, finishing those damn map-reduce jobs is :-)
- astrofinch 16y agoHas the idea of adding a field to the application itself for a founder's email address already been discussed?
- issa 16y agoI think this way it is an application test in its own right. (double checking my own account before hitting 'reply')
- astrofinch 16y agoOnly obsessive HN readers who see PG's post will get funded? :P
- arvinjoar 16y agoThey do tell applicants to check HN daily in the instructions.
- astrofinch 16y agoFair enough.
- gihan 16y agoGihan@MIT.edu
- lien 16y agoHi, I just realized there's a question to our application that I didn't see until now. I just responded to it and also emailed Harj. Thanks lien
- DarrenLyman 16y agoThanks for the follow up post pg, we are looking forward to hearing from you!
- kirillzubovsky 16y agoMy co-founder (@peterkchen) and I ended up building a private prototype over the last two weeks, in case we get an interview, but after working on it all last night and crafting a bunch of cool new ideas, I am pretty confident that we are going full speed forward either way. Being with YC would just help to be make the product even better. Alright, we'll know soon enough where the road goes. Good luck folks!
- cdr 16y agopg: Can you add a note to the profile settings page that the email field isn't publicly visible? This still confuses people all the time.
- deosaa7 16y agoah, slightly nervous that pg & co. have had no questions regarding us. ah well - the anticipation builds.
- prayag 16y agoThe letters have started coming in. Good luck to everyone. :)
- nkassis 16y agoIt would be cool to have an in HN messaging system. I know it's a lot to ask :) Just a proposal.
- josselind 16y agoi still didn't get the email...anyone same ?
