Ask HN: Do late YC apps get a response?

I know YCW2013 accepts late applications, but do all late applications receive a response? Or does there come a time when the YC Partners have to stop reviewing the late applications? For example I applied late (12/3/12)and to date I have not received any response. If I have not heard one way or the other by 1/1/13, I do not think I should expect to. Maybe there is a link to an article PG or another Partner wrote on this topic that I have missed, thanks to any responses.
