Usually the application cycles open in September and February with deadlines in late October and late March, and the program starts at the beginning of June & January. There's some variation each year; if you Google "YCombinator application deadlines" you can see how they've shifted in the past.
Ok great, how do you know if your YCombinator application was received? Or is it just no news means you were not considered? just curious, I know its still early...
YC application deadline has been mentioned as Oct 30 on "http://ycombinator.com/apply.html", but after clicking on the actual application the date is Nov 2, 2012. Which one is the actual deadline for submission with an idea?
I submitted a (very) late application for the Summer 2019 Ycombinator. This was almost 4 weeks ago. Do they reply apply always for late ones? And if you are too late do they consider this application for the Winter one, if they like what they see? If anyone can shed some light on this be much appreciated.....
will ycombinator email all the applicants by 31 October for winter funding cycle 2012 to inform if they are invited or not? (to meet in Mountain View during November 12-16). or they just email to the applicants who they are gonna invite? Just curious to know their procedure.

Hi Temirlan,
Thank you for being a part of the Y Combinator community!
You expressed interest in the YC Hackathon. Getting involved like this is a signal to us that you're interested in learning more about building your startup.
We'd like to let you know that the deadline to apply for the next batch is 3/16. Y Combinator only runs twice a year, so if you're interested in doing YC for your startup, now is the time to apply.
Interviews are planned for "late May", yet the program presumably starts on June 1. This seems to make for an awfully short interval between finding out one has been accepted and actually starting. Can someone from YC clarify?
Is the application page out of date? It's still referring to Winter 2017, and a deadline of October 4. However, this post says YC apps are reviewed on a rolling basis.
I notice that the ycombinator application has changed a bit since the first one. Even some of the questions used in the yc "how to apply" guidelines section are no longer on the current application. Can anyone comment on this or are there some articles already written on this topic?
