TL;DR: Harvard, MIT, Yale, Stanford, Stanford, Oxford, Yale, Cambridge, MIT, Stanford, Harvard. It is difficult to tell if this is an indication that YC overwhelmingly prefers people from extremely prestigious name-brand universities, or only people from said universities have any chance of being "connected" enough to get into YC.
Very cute.<p>Two thoughts-<p>1-
I might suggest that if you're encouraging people to study/memorize the names for YC interviews, you provide a downloadable/clippable version, that they can paste into standard flashcard tools.<p>2- You're loading Zepto externally through cloudflare, but calling it as an inline script. This is causing an issue where Zepto can't initialize, as the external JS hasn't loaded yet. There are a number of ways to fix this, but it renders the site unusable in chrome for me (Although it works in other browsers)
There are also YC alumni walking around in the waiting area before the interviews, usually -- probably identifiable by YC clothing items (sweatshirts, t-shirts) or by generally looking less nervous than applicants...<p>And there are a couple more YC employees usually present, handling scheduling and logistics.
Some extra notes: Justin Kan is currently one of the founders of another YC company, Exec. RTM is the eponym of the "Morris worm" believed to be the first Internet worm (you note this a bit with the discovery of buffer overflow).
Good luck everyone for the interviews! We've made that for us to prepare but we thought other people will be interested too, so we've quickly made this website (works well on your phone as a full screen app!)
