Ask HN: Anyone heard anything regarding YC Winter 2013 Applications?
Has anyone heard anything about the YC applications for the Winter 2013 class?
- sjtgraham 14y agoIn the past rejection emails have gone out between 5pm and 8pm Pacific. I can't speak for the emails inviting one to interview unfortunately! I expect the partners are busy evaluating applications up until the last moment.
- sharqnetwork 14y agonot yet..... this day is going by too slow. I don't know what will be more traumatic, getting rejected from my Dream University senior year of HS, or getting rejected by YC lol...tis life.
- tomasien 14y agoI just lost my "when will the first HN thread asking this question" pool by about 30 minutes. DAMN!
- SurfScore 14y agobut the real question is if this is the one that will make the front page or not...
- tomasien 14y agoIt's already there!
- SurfScore 14y agogood thing i bet 50 cajillion dollars on it happening...now I'm gonna go buy Mercury
- warpspeed 14y agoI don't know which I find more puzzling- that you have figured out how much Mercury costs, or that you've decided to buy it.
- orangethirty 14y agoHey, at least it will have a better shot at finding a business model than twitter... ;) I kid, I kid.
- orangethirty 14y agoPlease dont go and change the name to mercur.ly. Where Synergy meets Space.

- RMNH 14y agoWaitingggggg
- courtlandalves 14y agoLast semester we received our acceptance (to interview) at 3:59 PST.
- khmel 14y agoYC guys like .59 as I see )) little imperfections make this life interesting
- danielsiders 14y agoWe're creating a list of companies that applied here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4791386 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4791386
- dmytroKh 14y agoI worry more than before my first sex :|
- andrewcross 14y agoI got an interview email at 10:01pm EST in the past. It came through Mailgun so everyone that gets chosen will probably get that email at the same time.
- k-i-m 14y agoNothing yet.... why time is moving so slooooow? next startup: a time machine!! =) On the apply page they say: "We'll reimburse up to $600 per group for travel expenses.", do you think is a tricky part? I mean, if we ask for a reimburse for the travel (which would be around $400-500), will we "loose points" during the interview because we aren't so much motivated as we even asked for a reimburse?
- plusbryan 14y agoYC (likely) wouldn't blink an eye at paying travel expenses for a team they're interested in. The cost is insignificant to the potential upside.
- kapitalx 14y agoIt's not a trick question. You'll get reimbursed and it won't affect your credibility in any way to ask for what is offered to you.
- mion 14y agoI don't think so. At least for me the plane ticket is way over $600 (and I'm willing to spend a lot more just to be interviewed by these people)
- 2pasc 14y agoThat's a non issue. At the end of the interview, you go out in the main room, and will go and see their finance person to ask her to reimburse you, no question asked (bring a copy of your tickets in case she asks to see them, but I don't remember she did). You will get the answer later, and decision making is independent.
- zbruhnke 14y agoSpeaking from Experience, the Partners interviewing you probably won't even know which of the interviewees did or did not accept checks. Kirsty issues them as you ask before or after you interview and it is very casual. I certainly don't think they would hold it against you even if they knew. They're good people and don't expect you to do anything for free

- vbv 14y agoReading previous threads I have found a pattern. I may be wrong but that seems to be the pattern. Rejection emails go out around 4pm Pacific time and interview invite emails go out around 7pm Pacific time.
- anandsatyan 14y agoDoes everyone in the team get an email? or is it just the one who submitted the application?
- mansigandhi 14y agoI believe everyone does.
- sdiwakar 14y agoBummer, we just got a rejection email for Contactable (http://becontactable.com http://becontactable.com). The email came via Mailgun, here are the headers: Received: by luna.mailgun.net with SMTP mgrt ????61; Fri, 16 Nov 2012 01:17:01 +0000

- bosky101 14y ago@YC partners Are late applicants being considered ? (or perhaps queued up to process if there's time)
