I meant admission to YC, not university. But on that note, isn't the biggest criterion for university transfer admission is who admitted you in the first place and your consequential success at that school? It stands to reason if one wanted to predict if a group would be successful creating a successful startup that a good predictor would be if that group had stated a successful startup in the past. I'd assume there are other criteria, like: is what this group doing within our scope of expertise? Can we add value to this startup? Will admitting this group best add to the quality of this YC class? Will we make money on this investment?
