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

Same here. I'm showing up anyway.

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.

Ditto.

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.)

I also have this problem.

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?

pg said it's fixed (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=871433). It worked for me when I tried, try again.

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

Did anybody get a rejection email?

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

They have been in the past.

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 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?

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?

It sounds like frisco did on at least the first try - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=870866

The most logical explanation I've seen is that the page was counting all views towards the total instead of only accepted RSVPs or something - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=871201

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. :)

Is it going to be streamed over justin.tv or something?

It appears so.

Great! Just got an acceptance letter :) See you there. I am @yurylifshits http://yury.name

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

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

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.
