From what I can tell, YC Startup School's first batch had 10K applicants, 3K accepted companies and 800 graduates presenting.

It was very helpful for us (MoQuality) and seems like a huge success overall. Thanks YC! :)

even considering that some companies have decided to not make a public presentation less than 30% graduating rate (3K to ~800) seens to be very low.
We're actually at a 56% graduation rate. Many companies opted to not make a video for various reasons, including wanting to remain in stealth or they felt they were too early.
I guess lot of companies just took the credits for AWS/Google/Microsoft and got tired with the weekly video calls...

Their loss...
