- Or will all invites/rejects be send out on October 24th itself ?

- Do the late applications start getting looked at after October 24th - or only after first round interviews are complete ?

Some people have gotten video interviews. There is a chat about it here: https://yc.metachat.com/

Nope haven't got anything yet, also patiently waiting!

Last batch the emails went out pretty late on the day. However, the one before that came out a day earlier if I recall correctly.

I just asked in https://yc.metachat.com/ about the timeline for invites / rejections and learned that they should be sent out around 8pm PST

Read somewhere that having more views is not necessarily a good thing :) It might imply that they could not take decision right away

AFAIK they send "yes" and "video interview" before the flat "maybe next time".

last time we've got an invitation from YC. Now I've checked once again to mail and around 1 pm (PST) they send it. I suppose we have to wait few more hours to get invitations. :) good luck all.

Congratulations, you must be one of the first ones :) Makes sense to give re-applicants preference if they have developed well since last time.
