Guys, do you get the invites to your mails or is there a way to see it within the hacker news?

You'll get the mail for both invitation as well as rejection.

Thanks. I see a (1) sign next to my user name in hacker news but can't see what that is since there is no link there.

That's your karma count. It has nothing to do with your YC application.

thanks.

Do the invited get the mail before the rejected? Any idea about the sending order?

You'll get an email

Thanks!
