PG - My cofounder and I have a product already (about to launch). But we have doubts that we may not be able to get in with that idea based on the previous ideas that got selected for YC. Should we apply with our current idea, come up with a completely new idea, or apply as a no idea?

Of course, apply with your current idea. None of the accelerators have anything against existing product. The later the stage, the easier it gets to make a decision. And from your side, your product hold more truth than the application itself. On the other hand, if you are about to launch but you are ready to give up something at this stage just to work on something else for YC, you have a different problem, think again :)
