Are we notified if we aren't accepted to Startup School?

Let me put it this way. You will definitely get a mail if you get accepted. If you get no mail, you probably didn't get accepted. Also, the moment one of us get's an acceptance mail, you will probably see a post here.

That's not really how email works.

You shouldn't have been downvoted; email is almost the least reliable communication method we have.

The only method I can think of, off the top of my head, that's less reliable than email is carrier pigeon.

You will definitely get a mail if you get accepted. If you get no mail, you probably didn't get accepted.

I think that is precisely wrong. The FAQ says that all applicants should expect a response, whether they were accepted or not:

Q: I applied but didn't hear from you.

A: Either our reply is caught in your spam filter, or you entered an incorrect email address in the application form.

It's still only early evening in California.

I believe the e-mails went out late the last two years. Wait until tomorrow morning to open your inbox and find out whether or not you are accepted.

Yes, we'll email everyone.
