Thanks! I missed the deadline for winter funding but this time I told myself no matter what I wouldn't miss it. I turned it in a couple weeks early even. I just want to remind everyone that is applying with me this time around that even if you don't get funding, you shouldn't quit. Simply applying to Ycombinator means you are more motivated than most people, pursue your dreams and don't surrender. If you truly believe in your idea, then you can make it and be amazingly successful. So don't allow not getting an interview or a getting accepted stop you, you should go and become huge anyways, because I know I will!
Great point - YC is just one path to startup success. The best founders will find a way to make it happen, no matter what.
Thanks for your guidetoyc site was really useful in getting down to the stuff that matters :)
Either way things are going to move forward! Difference between Entrepreneur (finding solutions to problems) and Wantrepeneurs (wanting answers handed to them).

Thanks! Just hit submit
We were a solid team with a good idea. But still, we got lucky and we're grateful for everything YC has given us.
So I just wanted to wish everyone good luck with their applications today. And remember, you can't hit a home run if you don't take a swing.
