As of today btw that puts me at 17 weeks since application, and almost 2 weeks since clicked for early review.

@ianwithers On their page about applying they say: https://www.ycombinator.com/apply "Most interviews will be held by video conference from late October to early December. " and people aren't notified too much in advance of the interview. You aren't experiencing anything like a "longer wait...
