In 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.

This time last year, our interview email came just after the rejections went out.

I 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.

I 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.

Nothing 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?
