I've seen others mention a rejection email (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11495), but I didn't get one last round. Are rejection emails only for those who had interviews and got rejected or should everyone receive an email? I searched for the answer, but didn't find it.
edit: I searched my email and found a rejection from '09, but definitely didn't receive one from Summer '10.
Incidentally, the odds of getting accepted are much lower for applications after the deadline.

I was working on something else when the application period opened and wasn't considering applying. A few months later, I was free and started working on the idea when the application period was extended, so I applied knowing the chances were low.
Is there any merit in reapplying a late submission (with some improvements in my case) or would you say those applications have already been vetted? I imagine it's the latter since it seems to be more about the team than the idea.
