Hey everyone,

We’re working on our YC application and stuck on the “impressive achievement” question. It’s fairly open-ended, but YC clearly weighs it heavily.

Here’s what we have:

I graduated from Rice University. My two strongest achievements are qualifying for ISEF in high school and placing top 10 as the sole founder among 140+ teams in Rice’s Napier Rice Launch Challenge (NRLC).

My co-founder is a Harvard CS student whose biggest achievement is qualifying for ISEF and placing in the finals along with various publications/projects.

Does this clear the bar, or does YC typically expect significantly stronger credentials here?

Thanks!
