My experience in academia suggests that yes, rejections are ultimately sent out, but it may not happen until everything is set in stone (i.e., offers have been accepted officially).

Hang tough.
Thanks @@. I've been in touch with someone on a grad school forum who also applied to the program. She had a half hour phone interview back in March but has yet to hear from them (even though they said they'd let her know in a week...). She e-mailed the head guy on Friday, nothing. When I e-mailed the same guy a few months ago, I didn't hear anything until the call a few weeks ago requesting an interview. Maybe he responds better to phone calls than e-mails (he's not like 70 or something, incidentally, closer to my age)? Might just try calling him later this week if I don't hear anything.
Thanks for this!
