<p>You all may be reading a little too much into this. Stanford obviously cannot send out all of the e-mails at once; 25,000 going out at once would likely fry their servers. Also, to be fair, they did say 3 PM or later, meaning that they haven’t actually broken any promises.</p>
<p>At any rate, I’m relatively sure the admissions office is a little bit too busy to spend inordinate amounts of time structuring their e-mail release just to mess wit the applicants. Relax, and best of luck to you all!</p>
<p>stanford, i thank you for the opportunity to experience what it feels like to wait and stare at my laptop screen for 4 straight hours. it’s been so very pleasant.</p>
