Ask PG: How many submissions yet?

We're not going to quote the number any more. The reason is that we now have competitors, and we don't want to get in an application number war. It's easy to get massive numbers of applications by encouraging applications from people you know you won't accept: for example, undergrads who don't really want to drop out of school. We don't want to tempt anyone to do that.

A more interesting question: Do you think any of your applicants are also applying with you competitors?

For the applicants: are you applying to more than just Yc?
