Interesting how much a startup was like a big company that far back. Two whole days of meetings? Ugh.

Won't such a test limit the diversity of Y Combinator founders? And so you might get stuck in a local maximum as a result.

Larry and Sergey went to Michigan and Maryland. Woz went to Berkeley. Jobs, I think, did one semester at Reed. I don't think it matters super much in starting a startup.<p>Stanford is a good place to go if you want to start a startup simply because it's in the middle of Silicon Valley and thus infused with startup c...

We would never use <i>only</i> the test. At most we'd use it to prompt us to take a second look at someone we were about to reject.

Hey guys,<p>I am 17 and I posted this because I received my admissions letters this week. I got full rides to every state college I applied but I got wait listed at Stanford, MIT, Harvard, and Caltech. I really don't know how to think of this. Can I still start a successful startup? Can I still be more successful than ...

ok, my observation is that, the GREEN of most attributes is somewhere in the middle (with some nearer to some side), which means that there is a diversity between to those who you are compared, with 3/4 of the samples to define that side. This means that someone can be in right opposite but it doesn't mean that persona...

It won't change your ability to start a startup. It might change how strong a background in CS you get... but again, that depends on what kind of learner you are. <p>What states?<p>
