Paul talks about the YC admission process. "At YCombinator we go through and rank all of the applications, then we take the top 30 for interviews."
I bet there are a few people around here who would like to know where they placed in the last round.
- danielha 20y ago30 was just the number they invited for the Winter batch. It's not their standard cutoff number.
- nostrademons 20y agoIt seems like it'd have to be around that just for time constraints, though. If they give each interview an hour, 30 teams means 15 hour days all through the weekend.
- blader 20y agoWe've been told that interviews run around 10 minutes per team. I'm not sure if this was the case for previous seasons.
- jey 20y agoThe interviews are much, much shorter than an hour. Either they're really good at reading people, you just have to make the most of the short time you have, or both. Trevor said that they have about 50 interviewees for this round.
