now more of just the right and able individuals will apply to YC

Do those people care about Stanford? The founders of neither Dropbox nor Airbnb attended Stanford, for example. Evidence thus far seems to indicate that elitism isn't the right metric to optimize for. That said, there's certainly a large talent pool concentrated at Stanford.

Keeping YC a meritocracy seems important, so hopefully it won't become something else.




Consider applying for YC's Spring batch! Applications are open till Feb 11.
