When will the YC applicants know whether they have been invited or not for interview?

At this point I'm just going to pause my inbox with http://inboxpause.com/ and open it in the morning, see everyone on the other side.

I got our rejection email a few minutes ago. A couple things to remember for those in the same boat:

1. YC is just a means to an end. It's cliche but getting rejected to YC should not deter your startups path. If it does, it's a bad sign.

2. My team and I were excited about the opportunity as usual but we made sure we kept our expectations realistic and didn't get our hopes up. There are too many ups and downs in a startup to let this have a big impact on you. We didn't get in last time either, but I'm actually thankful because we wouldn't have been ready and it would've been a wasted opportunity.

Focus on growth and executing toward your goal above all else, that's the tl;dr of the YC experience anyway. Keep fighting the good fight.
