I got an acceptance email, but the confirmation link says the application was rejected.

I've rarely seen 6 words that reflect the entrepreneurial spirit so well as this post.

Same here. Will come along as well!

I've been thinking the same thing.

Same here, hopefully is a glitch.

Same, but possibly an email mismatch between the one on the logged-in HN account, and the one that you used to apply to Startup School? (That's the most obvious thing I can see about mine, anyway.)

yup i have this problem too. i got accepted, was able to RSVP and did. now checking the confirmation link again, it says application was rejected. glitch?

Will videos from the speakers be available online after the conference?

They have been in the past.

Will be missing out, a little sad.

You're not alone, major bummer this morning :(

Screw it, I'm going to start my own Startup School... with hookers and blackjack! Actually forget the Startup School.

Did anybody who got the acceptance letter end up at a page denoting that they were accepted? Or is everyone who got the acceptance email getting to the rejection page?

I first got a rejection, then tried about 10 minutes later and got the accepted page. So... wait around and try again.

That's the first lesson of Startup School. :)

I also got an acceptance email but the link says my application was rejected.

Did anybody get a rejection email?

I got it in (yay!) but I was just thinking -- how do they verify that you've been accepted when you show up?

I love the videos from Startup School 2008. I wasn't aware of the application deadline, but I'll make sure to apply early for next year. Do most of you who are going book a round trip flight?

This is the first startup school that I didn't get into =/

My coworker, who I told to apply since we're thinking of branching off to our own thing, got in and he's never even heard of yCombinator.

At least it will be on justin.tv!

I've heard nothing -- no acceptance nor rejection. Nothing in Spam. Anyone in the same boat?
