Question... I know it's a small chance of getting a response at all but if you do how do you get it? I haven't found an inbox / messaging area of any description... Cheers

You will get a response wether you're accepted or not. It'll be sent to the email of the person who filled out the form.

Thanks for the heads up. I was curious as to what the outcome was. It sounds like applications are really looked at in depth. That's really good to hear!

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.

Paul Graham stated that the interview dates won't be adjusted, just the announcement:

Any applicants (past, present, future) interested in having an informal meetup this weekend? Whether we get good news or bad news on the 15th, getting together would be a great morale boost and it'll be fun to meet everyone! I happen to be in Silicon Valley, but I'll be there in spirit for fellow applicants everywhere else :) Contact info's in the profile. Good luck to everyone!

This sounds awesome, NYC anyone?

Thanks for the update, much appreciated. Couple of extra days of chewing my fingers off waiting in anticipation ;-)

Thank you for the update and I look forward to 11/15. From looking at the website, all of the photos are primarily male, so I am hoping to add some female diversity to Y Combinator for 2013. What women wouldn't want to be surrounded buy hundreds of intelligent men for three months? :)

It doesn't matter. If the announcement is made later you buy the tickets later which makes them more expensive.

Not 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.
