Presumably, if they were to 'make it big' he would probably hear about this through other channels without having to constantly monitor a large pool of rejected applicants.

Sure he would hear about it, but would he remember that they had applied.

Presumably, someone on the YC staff monitors the success of companies both in the program and out of the program and uses that data to improve future acceptance decisions.
