Ask YC: Did you wait until the last day too?

Haha, no offense, but you guys sound like high school teenagers that just got done with their big exam, and the application for entrance for college.<p>If you don't get accepeted, move on and finish your idea yourself. If it is good, and the execution is good, it shouldn't matter if you get accepted at yc or not.<p>So, no matter what happens, don't get discouraged, but keep going.

I submitted weeks ago, but I was up most of last night finishing getting our demo ready.

Usually about a third of applications are submitted on the last day.

I applied to YC once before. It's kind of funny, the idea I submitted this time is something I included in the "What cool things have you built?" question last go around. Anyone else end up doing the same?<p>As an aside, Media Temple is screwing us over right now. We submitted our application last night around 9 PM EST. Around 4 AM MT took their service down for upgrades and our site has been down since. We're freaking out and still waiting to hear back from them.

I submitted my app today too. I had my idea two days ago.

I waited until the last day to finish it and resubmit a final version.<p>I submitted my rough draft early because I did not want my idea to be overlooked or not given a fair chance.

I submitted last night, but I just heard about Y-Comb two weeks ago. My founders and I have been working on our project for a few months already.

Our initial idea launched (by someone else) this past weekend. Luckily it forced us to come up with something a lot better by the deadline.

I was hoping to get a cofounder's commitment by today, but I submitted it anyway last minute.

We submitted our final version late last night.
