FYI. Shifting by a couple of days could significantly increase the cost for international applicants because international flight prices often increase steeply in the two weeks leading up-to the the flight date.
- irunbackwards 14y agoPaul Graham stated that the interview dates won't be adjusted, just the announcement: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4775020 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4775020
- fbuilesv 14y agoIt doesn't matter. If the announcement is made later you buy the tickets later which makes them more expensive.
- RoxyFoxy 14y agoNot only tickets matter for international applicants, I believe, there are a lot of applicants who have a visa-stuff going on... And this is more troublesome than expensive tickets.
- fbuilesv 14y agoUS Embassies change from country to country so don't read this as gospel, but if you don't have your visa 15 days before the interviews you're probably too late now :(
- prasoongupta 14y agoWell,I think the tickets and visa stuff should be figured out by the applicants as soon as they submit their app assuming that you should get a call,cancellations might cost cheaper than booking at the last minute
