Comment on Ask YC: Impact of University on YC Application?

I'm sure PG could break down those numbers for you, but they wouldn't be meaningful. Yes, people from "better" institutions are more likely to be accepted; but that doesn't tell you whether it's the institution which matters or simply that those were the better students to begin with.

The proportion would certainly be interesting. i.e. 90/5/3/2 wouldn't surprise me but if it was more like 40/30/20/10 I would definitely be interested in knowing that.
