Ask HN: If I update my application and re-submit it, is it a late application
May sound silly, but I thought I should confirm it. The wording on the apply page kind of got me worried.
If we update our application and re-submit it, will it count as a late application? We had submitted it once before the deadline.
- myoshimoto 16y agoYes, seems like it will count as a late app. We submitted ours earlier today, and the messaging on http://news.ycombinator.com/apply http://news.ycombinator.com/apply now reads: "The application deadline for this cycle has passed. You can still submit a late application, though the chances of getting funded are lower. <link>apply late</link>"
- kuldeep_kap 16y agoWas this your first submission or update to the old one?
- meelash 16y agohmm.... I guess the "fair" thing would be for it to count as late, although I wish that wasn't the case. I struggled to figure out what the "hack a system to your advantage" question really meant (given that I read that pg essay a while back on what "hacking" "really" means, although the question seemed to be referring to the other meaning contextually) and now I found out that I was wrong...... Could've had a pretty good answer for it, too. ho-hum.
