Yea. At least that’s what people have said about past batches.

Either way I'll be sure to post here when I get the email! I submitted the application on the last day.

Still haven’t gotten my denial letter yet (LOL).

For S17, I got my invite at 8:14pm EST.

Still waiting here, anyone else?

i am waiting. invites are still getting out, so nothing is lost
rvanaki
still waiting as well.

I think invites are done sending. Seems like things have slowed down. Haven't heard of anyone getting rejection letters either

haysstanford
fairly sure this is sorted by category. what is your category?
haysstanford
they may be sending invites from the categories populated least to most. Just a theory based off the anecdote that most consumer categories haven't heard back.

If you go to apply.ycombinator.com and then “Previous Applications” if your W18 is there I’m guessing it’s a no?! But I could be wrong!
Appsfly_IO
It's like that from long before.
rvanaki
are you saying that this is or isn't an accurate method of predicting the invite?
bryanchappell
I spoke with someone earlier who got an invite and they did not see a change on their application. We have not received an invite or a rejection.
turalg
what's your evidence?
evichat
apparently if you are b2b or b2c stream they haven't sent out that 'batch' yet - rejections or invites.
