So there are no acceptance emails? If you got neither a rejection nor acceptance, what does this mean? I'm worried they lost my email (even though it was specified in the application)

We've emailed everyone who applied, except 7 groups that didn't include an email address anywhere, so anyone who hasn't gotten an email yet should check their spam folder.

are we one of those? Do you only send an email to one of the members, or all group members? I was pretty sure the email was there in the app, but I didn't see anything in my spam box.

The email goes out to all the team members.

Thanks for the opportunity, Paul. Did you guys happen to get my letter/stickers? Just want to make sure it reached you.

Funny as it sounds, if you got neither rejection nor acceptance, another possibility of 'lost your email' might be you're accepted. Except, they sent the first batch of rejection letters out first. Just my 2c. =)

[johnzyu → hwijaya]

so would they eventually send out acceptance letters, or are we supposed to assume no responses mean acceptance? It's like a reverse pocket-veto :-)

[hwijaya → johnzyu]

No idea. IMO, they should send out acceptance letters. Since i'm on the rejected-camp (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=550330), i was just saying that, you still have hope to be accepted if you haven't received rejection email. All of us seem to receive it on the same time.

So, if i were you, i probably look at it as the "glass is half full" rather than "half empty" if i haven't received anything. Good luck! =)
