I received two emails.

1. Class Begins Next Week!

> Thank you for applying to Startup School Online. We're sorry to say that your startup was not selected for the upcoming Advisor track....

What I understood is that I was not selected. But then 1:30 minutes later I got a second email.

2. Your Company was ACCEPTED: Startup School Advisor Track

> Thank you for applying to Startup School Online. Your application looked promising and we would like to invite you to the Advisor track!

So I am accepted? I see others have the opposite happen so I am confused.

When I click on the link and log in, it shows:

> Thank you for applying to Startup School!

> We will let you know whether you’re accepted by August 20th, 2018.

Update:

The website has updated to show that I have been accepted. Good luck to those who haven't received an update yet.




Yeah, I got the same, I'm going to let things settle down over the next few hours and keep coding, I'm wondering if there is another rejection on its way. :)


I see this in a monty python-esque tone:

"we are happy to inform you that we are very sorry to inform you of our previous information that you were accepted to starupschool, when that was sadly, an error on the part of our rejection system falsely telling you that you were accepted, so I am here to tell you that sadly, you were not accepted by our rejection system and your rejection has summarily been rejected by our acceptance department of rejected rejections and sent to the appropriate signatories for sign-off on your sign-up down-below.

See you next tuesday should this actually be a rejection of your rejection and an ackknowledgement of your acceptance, whichever may come first"


Man, I hope you're start-up has something to do with comedy, that was awesome!


This is awesome!


Same! Fingers crossed
