On: Ask HN: Is this email from Y Combinator or scam?

[waterside81]

This is a (valid) rejection for startup school - which is different from YC Winter class. Two different things. So no, not spam.

But my question is that what is startup school? We did not apply for it any startup school, so how did we get this email?

Think you might have accidentally applied for startup school instead of YC's mentorship program? If so I'd do something about it, now!

Hi Abbas, I checked about a week before the submission and our application is already sumibtted for YC mentorship. I might have accidently applied for startup school and not remember :)

Thanks,
