on behalf of everyone in the chat room who is incessantly asking, when should we expect notification (either way). people are consumed by this question and meaningful business/coding discussion has ceased.

Same here in the Netherlands. It's almost midnight, so it looks like I'm pulling an allnighter again. It's all good though, might as well get some work done!

See, this is where a fake notification date for the 3rd could be useful. That way when you get notified a day early on the 2nd, you are pleasantly surprised and haven't been dwelling on it all day.

Yeah but then they'd know the next time. I think it would be better if they had decided by the previous day, so they could send all the emails the morning of the last day and not have people obsess all day long...

In the end you will either get an email or you will not. It doesn't matter when it is sent.

You will also either start a company or not. It doesn't matter whether you get accepted or not.

Most importantly though - isn't it fantastic to be worried and nervous about this? If you're biting your nails right now it's because you put yourself in this position. You worked hard and spent energy on something you cared about and now you get to be judged. Just keep making yourself nervous and putting yourselves in these situations where you get feedback and can iterate and move forward. This is our crack.

It's not often you get to say something like that outside of science fiction.

I got a kick out of saying that when I flew back from New Zealand last week. My flight left around 7:00pm New Zealand time and arrived around 1:00pm California time on the same day (crossed the international date line), so I could tell people "my flight left 6 hours from now."

I received my rejection notification at 7:27PM Pacific time. I'll work on my startup anyway, and see how I go.
