YC S17 Rejection/ Acceptance

Hey, Did anyone get any views on founder or demo video?

Also will they interview all possible international candidates through skype first?

We got 6 views on both. Didn't get any invitation for pre-interview and we're based in Hungary.

I got views but didn't get any invite. Maybe they will send bulk rejection?

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.

I would think it would be lots of applications review since they receive 100K application (I guess)
