When you're making a GitHub students account:
"We'll email you in a few weeks"
5 seconds later, you'll recieve an email:
"Hey <username>, we have some awesome news

We've upgraded you to a plan with unlimited free private repositories, which will be free for the next two years."

GitHub, I don't think you know what weeks are, lmao

weeks are not seconds

    I only had to wait a few minutes too, both times I applied! Maybe there's some whitelist of emails which instantly gets through.

    The reason they do this is because it is based on your student email address, certain educational institutes might make it hard or easier to validate a student as being a student

    Don't use student email. Use your normal one and upload student id pic. You dont want any project to be deleted by mistake dp you?

    @zarkopafilis My account is private email, but I did student registration with my student email. Guess the HTL Donaustadt is popular there.
