A friend of mine, upon seeing this page, noted that he applied for this a year ago and still hasn't gotten a response. What sort of turnaround these applications have?
For students with school-issued email addresses the turnaround time is very quick. Without a school issued email address the turnaround should be a few days.
Perhaps the message was caught in a spam filter somewhere.
I started working at GitHub in August and have improved the application process quite a bit from what it used to be.
