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.
- falsestprophet 17y agoThat's not really how email works.
- thaumaturgy 17y agoYou 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.
- blasdel 17y agoWhile in the original design, SMTP email is like writing on a postcard in light pencil and throwing it into the wind, in present reality the infrastructure has solidified quite nicely. What's now novel about it is that it's selectively reliable -- people can just not send or reply as expected, and generally get away with it.
- neilc 17y agoYou 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.
