I don't think it can ever be too hectic to save someone's time & money. Someone I knew got a pre-interview as well so I'd say it's common for international teams who get seriously considered for invites to get a pre-screening sort of...

Yes, it would obviously make more sense to have a pre-interview for international teams. But I do know folks from India who did not get a pre-interview request but did get called for interview and eventually got selected. The pre-interview content in one case was just some clarifications on application.

100% agree

We're based in San Jose and had a pre-interview this morning (invite was on Sat). Mostly questions clarifying things from our application and further understanding of the product. Not sure if that means we will get a real interview invite or not...

Hi all!! Any news so far?

Inside Startup School's chat they said: "Please keep waiting, emails go out by April 18th". That's all. It could mean midnight Pacific time though...

Thanks!! We'll keep waiting then! Do you know if we're supposed to receive an email even if we're rejected?

As far as I know yes, you'll get an email either way.
