We do still allow late apps. We're working on the problem and hope to have it back up soon. Sorry guys!
As a first time applicant, is there a declination notification or is lack of response the indicator of being passed over? Also, it seems there is an advantage in submitting late as you may avoid applicant fatigue. True?
We send emails to everyone. If you didn't get one, email us at apps at ycombinator dot com

What happens if a rejected company from this batch submits a late application. Does this paradox cause the universe to implode?
Haha - honestly though , is this acceptable?
From apply.ycombinator.com:
"You are listed as a founder on another application. Please do not create a new application unless you're applying with a different startup."
Was worth a look... :-)
My guess would be - don't ask but do. Asking for permission probably makes it already a "no".
No problem, thanks for the quick response!

How about a rejected application but one that now has traction? ie live in the App Store and growing.
Does anyone know if they still allow this, in principle? Or are batches now so saturated (with good ideas) that they dropped the option?
