- mzg92 10y agoNot yet. Anxiously waiting...the odd part is that their application now says invites will be sent on 10/25 (today): http://www.ycombinator.com/apply/ http://www.ycombinator.com/apply/

- mrallgood24 10y agoEast coast reporting. No email here
- mzg92 10y agoRegarding 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.
- zwallman 10y agoJust a guess, but I am guessing that would be considered on time. Best of luck :) :)
- mrallgood24 10y agoI saw I was still able to update on the 5th too so I'm sure you good
- mrallgood24 10y agoAnybody have any idea of video views from them on application video?
- zwallman 10y agowhat do you mean by that? like how many views # did we get?
- mrallgood24 10y agoYeah
- siddharthgdas 10y agopretty difficult to know, i have no views from San Francisco yet
- mrallgood24 10y agoI 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
- zwallman 10y agoembedded: 46 Not sure if they think I am funny or a psycho.

- jackson0111 10y agoAny updates?
- Old_Thrashbarg 10y agoI just got a rejection email...
- JiriTrecak 10y agoJust 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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdpG1sKd5bI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdpG1sKd5bI
- zwallman 10y agoJust got my rejection. Now I wonder if all 46 of the embedded views were them just laughing at me lol.
- randomhakan 10y agoStill didn't receive an email, anyone else waiting confirmation like us?
- tallminator 10y agoStill waiting for the email
- getnorby 10y agoHey 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.
- zwallman 10y agoCongrats !! hope you guys and/or girls ace the interview !!
- sivareena 10y agoCongratulations! :) What is the idea you are working on?
- mrallgood24 10y agoCongratz mate! Get ready for the interview, I hear you only have a few days!
- deleted 10y ago[deleted]
- jrlomas 10y agoJust got the email about an hour ago EST, with the invitation.
- zwallman 10y agoCongratulations !! Hope you nail it :)
- manikandans 10y agoIs anyone still waiting for the email?
- zwallman 10y agoIt 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
- testtryaccount 10y agoWe are still waiting for the email.. No news
- zwallman 10y agoCrossing my fingers for you :)
- siddharthgdas 10y agoRejected
- mzg92 10y agoReceived 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...
- zwallman 10y agoIt's okay. You're not alone.
- KeatonDunsford 10y agoRejected. Get it though, as my thing is both really (probably too) big and really early. The grind continues though.
- zwallman 10y agoI 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.
- mericsson 10y agoWondering 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!
- zwallman 10y agoI wish

- redstarpa 10y agoBoks 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. Thanks, Rudy Ferraz BoksKar.com
