Ask HN: Y Combinator Video Call Canceled Last Minute

Posted by ousama on Tuesday October 15, 2019 @11:14AM
from the ask-hn dept.

We had gotten a request for a video call and scheduled our call and at the last minute it was canceled. When we went to reschedule the call the system said there are no more available slots.

We received an email on Oct 11 to schedule a video call with our team. We had scheduled it for today 9:30am and got an email earlier this morning that it was canceled and to select another time.

From what I understood, video calls are not mandatory for getting selected. I am not sure how much it affects your chances of getting in, but decisions for on-site interviews should be out tomorrow.

Do you know the slack (if any) for this batch? (2020 winter). I recall last one applicants joined a slack to follow up real time as results pour in. Wondering if there is a link for the same thing.
