Remember in the movie, Matrix when Keanu Reeves sat with the other gifted ‘potentials’? Well, call me the EFFEN oracle because this YC essay inspired, AP-like-test score is going to take 2 – 20 people to the next, next level. Yes, two to 20 in 63,030 are gonna be successful.
You see, I see YC like a grad school. But way more competitive and way more “street”. By street, I mean street business smart. Yup, I’m kinda a scary Obi Wan Kenobi inking a street smart deal with Han Solo. (R2D2 being a Jedi is a different post) Similar to how I say Chewbacca, was CTO of the Millennium Falcon. Very smart.
The YC essay inspired, AP-like-test score via 7 questions. Yes, I scored a 7 out of 5… Getting seven question right of 5 is possible.
