Did YC bring in less interviewees this batch than summer 2012?

Slightly fewer, because we used the last 3 interview slots each day to have another track re-interview startups we were on the fence about. That was one of our new techniques for avoiding mistakes. IIRC there were 20 slots both times, so we therefore invited 17/20 as many startups as last time.

I assume by decreasing the amount of startups interviewed in order to re-interview a few of the startups, you guys believe that you make more mistakes in the interview process than in the application review process. That is kind of surprising.

Oops, there were 19 slots last time, so we invited 17/19 as many this time.

There were a lot of interviews this week. Far more people were interviewed than were accepted.
