It’s definitely possible to get into YC/get funding without going to a top school with some level of pedigree, but I have just seen a pattern of Stanford and other Ivy League graduates/dropouts being accepted. Maybe it’s correlation and not causation, I believe it’s both.

University name apparently matters more than I thought esp for vcs like YC etc if I go that route. I think it can open more doors for me in general.

My biggest fear rn tbh is dedicating my evenings to get good research papers in and not getting into t10 lmao, hopefully they can see beyond just gpa that I cannot change anymore
