At least we have one thing going for us. If you fail a Goldman Sachs interview, you don't get to work at Goldman Sachs. If YC or some other accelerator rejects you, you can still go and start your startup and succeed anyway. In fact YC specifically says that if you make acceptance a deciding factor in deciding whether to do a startup, you'll probably fail.
In the end, startups only succeed only if enough people like their product enough to pay for it. So what if there are now accelerators targeting "non-scrappy" guys?
