Remind HN: Don't Forget to Submit Your YC Application

18 points by il ↗ HN
Applications close in less than an hour at 8:00 PST. If you've made any changes to your application, be sure to actually submit it before the deadline.

Clicking the "resubmit" button after the deadline, even if you've submitted before, will mark your application as late, significantly reducing your chances.

Also, last time, there was a chat room for applicants to discuss their ideas: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1813949

Does anyone want to set up something like that this time? Or shall we all just go to #startups?

We want to build a peer-to-peer social network that connect people together by using bleeding edge picture analysis on their mobile internet devices (MIDs). Combined with state of the art audio analysis or the user's voice we can create the world's first social analysis network that blends the virtual world and the physical world together through 3D graphics!

Clicking the resubmit button does not mark your application as late (otherwise, #6 on the instructions would be misleading). You just have to make sure you submit at least once before the deadline. The URL to the app will probably be replaced with the late app tomorrow, and then you won't be able to get back in. Best of luck to all applicants.

WHEW crisis averted, I hope.

Apologies for the misinformation, I guess I am mistaken.

Chatting about great ideas totally beats studying for exams, so I'm definitely in!

CRAP!

I am worried I may have accidentally resubmitted after 8!

I think I may have miscopied the posterous video URL and when I noticed, I still had the application open in one tab and hit update not knowing this would mark it as late!

How can I confirm this?

I submitted half a dozen edits after the deadline, fixing stuff i found while re-reading the application. Now they've shifted it around so it says "The application deadline for this cycle has passed. You can still submit a late application, though the chances of getting funded are lower."

I suspect the real close was at around midnight, not 8pm.

Got mine in a full day early. Pumped.
