YC/pg seems to be obsessed with Ivy league kids. When I went to startup school it was at Stanford and I met quite a few ivy league kids from the east coast. Plus a lot of YC companies I read about seem to be started by them.
Seems like confirmation bias. It might just be Ivy League kids (with their most high school performance and/or wealth access) are more likely to be attend events like startup school or start a company. The same factors that attract people to Ivy Leagues may the same as those that attract them to YC.
That's not surprising because YC is the Ivy league of incubators.
looooool so you're mentioning this comment on your application? Edit: Yes we all know YC is a great accelerator, but the ass kissing ?
