#3Is this a huge leap? or similar to previous batches. I know the applications are rising each batch but i'm interested in if this is considerably higher than previous years.

I never looked at the rate before, but I'd guess it's about the same rate we'd have had a few hours before the deadline last cycle.

#5Not really a plus from the applicant side. It's crazy impressive, but how many can they take?

#6Hey, Himani.
Y Combinator Universe still has the most comprehensive unofficial collection of information for Y Combinator Applicants/Interviewees:

My best advice: Remember that Y Combinator is a means and not an end. The goal is NOT "to get into Y Combinator". The goal is to make something people want. And there are plenty of resources for start-ups beyond kissing PG's butt for money and introductions.

I believe someone had a blog post recently where they estimated this years total batch at around 4000 based on previous years numbers and rate of increase. So ~1600 on the last day seems like it could be in the ballpark of what was expected.

Is that one new application per minute, or does it include updates to previous applications? Very impressive either way.

Interesting, I suppose people want up until the last minute to work on their application, demo, etc. Maybe they just decide to apply last minute.
