Is it acceptable if a co-founder cannot move to Bay Area for the summer?

EDIT: As someone pointed out on IM, it's acceptable but we're expected to mention it in #9.

If you get accepted, do whatever you possibly can to get everyone out there.

I totally agree but one of the co-founders is finishing his course & will be busy with finals until July.

That's really tricky. I've been in exactly that situation; several years ago we started our first startup whilst cofounder was still doing his finals. So having experienced that plus currently experiencing YC, I think your hesitation is justified, lol. :D
