As I explained here, the alumni are going to read applications in addition to us, not instead of us: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=908585 http://news.yco

I'm not sure what you meant about a "one in three chance," but it sounds like you're misunderstanding how we read applications. We don't split them up. Also, there are 4 YC founders, not 3.
The way it usually works is that Robert, Trevor and I (separately) read and rank the applications. Then Jessica looks at the top-ranked ones to see if there are any red flags we've overlooked.
- tianaco 17y agoMy mistake. I spoke to a few YC alums and they told me that RTM wasn't really involved. Thank you for clarifying.
- vivek_ganesh 17y agoPaul, Would you tell us, which YC alumni is going to read the applications for us in advance,if we see any conflicts then, we delte our application. Thanks,
