Pretty sure the reason that you didn't get into YC wasn't simply because of some binary metric like your previously going though an accelerator. Give them more credit than that and look deeper, regardless of what the email said.

I think however being in an accelerator pre-YC has some definite weight in the decision. Curious if anyone has any insight into this. The interview was going fantastic and all the partners seemed impressed by our traction and opportunity until they brought up the previous accelerator (which coincidentally turned out to be the last question before time was up)
