YC S17 Rejection/ Acceptance

#1
Hi Guys,

Wanted to know if you are seeing some activity on this front? I believe some international candidates are being scheduled for a Skype pre-interview.

I know this is a cliched, irritating and usually useless discussion that must be common every year :-) But can't help asking given an early answer can help us with some pending decisions.

Let me know in case you know about something.

Thanks in advance, Vardhan

Hey, Did anyone get any views on founder or demo video? Also will they interview all possible international candidates through skype first?

I should think so. It'd be more efficient that way.

But it would be too hectic for them no? They already need to read so many applications within a short period of time.

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.
