pg, I'm just curious if re-submitting hurts anyone? I feel like I have re-submitted quite a few times (no major changes) mainly just cutting out wordiness or marketing speak, but is there any number of times that it turns out to be a red flag for you guys? Also my video is VERY raw, I left it unedited as suggested, but never realized how much head movement I had in the beginning of the video until after watching it again, is there such a thing as too raw on the videos?
- pg 16y agoRe-applying per se is definitely not a red flag. We often accept people on the nth try. But if you're reapplying with substantially the same thing each time, you're effectively just testing our consistency. It would be a better bet to change more than wording. Video quality can be at least this raw: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=855057 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=855057
- zbruhnke 16y agoThanks for the response! I actually did some research and used this video as a model for my application! As far as the re-applying I actually meant re-submitting* (I.e. I have never applied to YC before with any company, however I have re-submitted my app for this session probably 5 or 6 times) I'm guessing the comment below addresses that particular question?
- pg 16y agoResubmitting is fine. Do that as much as you want.
- brianmwang 16y agoDoes this also apply for an application that was submitted before the deadline? More specifically, is it fine to make an edit to the application after the deadline period?
- chrischen 16y agoI actually emailed info@ycombinator.com about something like this and Kirsty responded "We can see that applications have been resubmitted so don't worry too much!"
