Ask PG: What happened with the acceptance letters for Startup School?

17 points by alexsb92 ↗ HN
Were they sent out, and I just didn't receive one, or did you guys not finish looking over the hundreds of applications?

I tried doing some searches regarding it, but there seems to be no buzz regarding it, so I actually even made sure that I had the date right so I wouldn't make a fool of myself by posting this.

Edit: rewording.

There's another post that claims you can check your status here http://news.ycombinator.com/susrsvp. Seems ligit. Is it?

Interesting. I checked it earlier and it said I wasn't accepted. I just re-checked and it's asking for verification that I'm coming.

We can't know that anything is ready until they send out the email, so don't get excited/disappointed yet.

same here, hope to receive the email soon. funny i've been checking all day as well, and searching on twitter occasionally...

Did you rsvp before getting the email? I still haven't gotten it, but the rsvp page still indicates that I'm invited.

I'm beginning to wonder if they only sent emails to people who hadn't rsvp'd already.

yea I did RSVP earlier as well, check your bulk/spam folder? good luck

All of us that did not get accepted should spend the weekend working on our projects!

Or watching the live stream. That's what I'll be doing.
