Regarding late applications, does anyone know if they notify you that your application is considered late? We submitted at 8:01pm PT so we aren't sure if it counts as late.
I checked my embedded views and made sure mine wasn't public. I had 2 views from what I'm pretty sure is yc at only half the length of the video time...yikes
Just got rejection email as well - last time (s16) we were invited for the interview but did not get in at the end. But it only makes everyone stronger, nothing that anyone should be sad about. For anyone interested, our product demo video:

Hey folks... wow, we just got an invite to come to California :-) Good luck everyone... and regardless of your application outcome - make something fucking amazing anyway.
It seems as though everyone has gotten them. Most people have gone into hiding though. I received my rejection at 5:37 and was crying in front of a mirror by 5:38. #proud
Received rejection email last night...I know all the stories of successful start-ups that were rejected and all but can't help but feel extremely disappointed...
I was certain you'd get in tbh. Your head game and confidence seemed on point. I was pretty confident that I was getting in I had like 49 embedded views. I'm bummed but oh well. Life moves on. It was my first time applying so I feel like a dick complaining about not getting in. Plus, I'm solo and non-technical. I was hoping that my hubris and ability to communicate would get me an interview.
Wondering anyone who got accepted for an interview want to switch dates?
We signed up late for the interview and are currently scheduled for 11/2 but my co-founder will be out of town then. Anyone have a slot the following week that would want to switch? Mail me at mericsson@gmail.com thx!
Boks Kar didn't get selected either for W17, we found out by looking the status on our application page.
The cool part is we look forward in taking our company to the next level. There is a ton of stories of founders moving forward without YC, and sometimes you don't need an accelerator to make your dream come true. It's the dream itself that's powers you to make it come true. It would have been great to meet the YC team and learn from them. But after with much thought, it makes sense to move forward and become a market leader to tip my hat to YC.
If you're interested to work for company that's going to change how we own cars - drop your resume@bokskar.com
Power on and take your dream to the next level. I'm 404.

Not sure if they think I am funny or a psycho.
Hope you nail it :)
