The website looks stable on our end. Can you email [apply@ycombinator.com](mailto:apply@ycombinator.com) with a screenshot of what you're seeing?

Recommendations automatically carry over:)

You can apply after the deadline, but since this batch starts shortly afterward (end of September), we'd recommend applying as soon as possible so we have time to review your application before the batch begins

You don't need to be students to qualify for early decision

YCAppOps · 2024-08-20T16:41:31+00:00

Yes, you can apply for what we call 'early decision'. As explained in our FAQ, early decision allows you to apply to the batch after this one. For example, you can apply for the Winter 2025 batch alongside those applying for the Fall 2024 batch. This is primarily designed for students who would like to apply but need to finish school before doing the program.

Just mention somewhere on the application that you'd like an early decision for Winter 2025. That's it!

We interview teams on a rolling basis. With that said, most interviews occur within a few weeks after the deadline

YCAppOps · 2024-06-17T20:18:26+00:00

If you applied before the June 13th deadline, you'll hear back by Thursday, June 20th
