pg, I'm just curious if re-submitting hurts anyone? I feel like I have re-submitted quite a few times (no major changes) mainly just cutting out wordiness or marketing speak, but is there any number of times that it turns out to be a red flag for you guys? Also my video is VERY raw, I left it unedited as suggested, but never realized how much head movement I had in the beginning of the video until after watching it again, is there such a thing as too raw on the videos?
Re-applying per se is definitely not a red flag. We often accept people on the nth try. But if you're reapplying with substantially the same thing each time, you're effectively just testing our consistency. It would be a better bet to change more than wording.
Thanks for the response! I actually did some research and used this video as a model for my application! As far as the re-applying I actually meant re-submitting* (I.e. I have never applied to YC before with any company, however I have re-submitted my app for this session probably 5 or 6 times) I'm guessing the comment below addresses that particular question?
Does this also apply for an application that was submitted before the deadline? More specifically, is it fine to make an edit to the application after the deadline period?
I actually emailed info@ycombinator.com about something like this and Kirsty responded "We can see that applications have been resubmitted so don't worry too much!"
