Is that message from YC truthful? I ask because I've seen a lot of people receiving it, probably a bias towards sharing it if you receive it though.

- sesm 2y agoAssuming Gaussian distribution, how many criteria should be graded, so that 90% of applicants are in top 10% for at least one criterion?
- lupire 2y agoThere is only one overall criteria in this case.
- choppaface 2y agoNot to mention that the “top 10%” shifts year-to-year as much or more than HYPS admissions. Talent _development_ requires substantive feedback, or at least substantial visibility into the competition versus a binary outcome. For example, tell Founders if they have the substance or right fidelity but poor sense of timing. (And market timing often in the hands of the VCs anyways). Without real feedback, it’s much closer to a real estate license than an academic math program.
