Yeah, don't put YC on a pedestal. Whatever ship the supposed prestige was on sailed a long time ago, then sank.
One would hope that would create a habitable reef, but in practice it's probably closer to an underwater super fund site.

I highly recommend watching HBO's Silicon Valley.
cold dms and emails are what landed me (senior in hs) YC internship, and honestly just being within the community and showing passion about the product helps drastically
dang congrats. how long did it take?
