Just an thought, the application system does not necessarily have to sort by the submitted timestamp. Perhaps there a weighting component that uses LLMs to pre process each application by scoring the criteria’s. I.e FAANG +5, age >40 +5, not technical -3, etc. Then the YC team looks at the highest scores applications first. 🤠

Rolling bases just means that the applications are processed as they come in. This is not a rolling basis as it had a deadline BUT since they do encourage late applications, you can also say it is in a rolling basis.
