Hi Y'all,

I've been extremely fortunate to receive an Explore on-site but I'm running into a problem. I have multiple heavy-weight midterms on their suggested days, which means that I'll be studying for those instead of doing leetcode problems.

I was wondering if anyone has ever moved their onsite to January, meaning I'd fall into the second batch of people applying in Jan-ish for the positions. Would host-matching have been filled up by then?

The problem is then compacted by the fact that due to me being just stupid busy, I haven't done any leetcoding, meaning that if I take the interview now, I will almost for sure fail the interview.

Also, if anyone has any advice on the explore interview process, please reach out - I would love to hear what you have to say!

TL;DR:
(1) Can I move my onsite to Jan
(2) If it's in Jan will host-matching be filled
(3) How much leetcoding is needed for Explore
(4) How to prep for PM portion of the Explore interview

Thanks so much for your help!

      Chill this is the explore program for first and second years, the hardest they would get is how to reverse a linked list or something
