Ask HN: How does the "apply late" in YC application work?

5 points by rrpadhy 12y ago ↗ HN

I see YC Application has got "apply late" link. However, when you follow that link, it gives you a message "Sorry, this application is no longer editable."

Is it only me or is it the same for others?

Interesting that the appears to work for only some people. Does this imply a concerted effort at encouraging some above others to apply?

Maybe it only works for people with higher karma points?

If you have started your YC application before the deadline (March 28) and submitted it at least once since then, you will no longer be able to edit it.

Applying late, with its low odds, is to give a chance to those who didn't knew about YC before the applications' deadline.
