I've set aside the summer to work on my project/startup. It's something I really believe in, and something I'd like to have for myself anyways. Further, some people have already offered me a few hundred for my product (when it's done), so I feel pretty confident about it.

Whether or not I get to YC on the other hand... It's difficult to imagine myself getting in. I've applied three times (including this time). I have a good team, we play board games nightly, and are moving out to California in May.

Honestly, I don't think my plans will change if I make it into YC or not. Y Combinator would just accelerate the process significantly, and help us meet more people just like us.
