Of course there is. They have to draw the line somewhere and there is always going to be an applicant that fell just below the line. I doubt Quora will take up as much bandwidth as other startups, but I'm sure it still figured into their calculations of how many teams they could accept.

YC does not set a defined cap on the number of companies they let in each batch. So I don't think there is a crowding out effect.

That's my point. They don't draw a line in terms of the number of slots. They draw a line in terms of quality.
