Current stanford situation

<p>I’m not sure if any of you already found out about this, but…</p>

<p>Stanford is currently experiencing an epic network failure when they tried to send all those acceptance/waitlist/rejection emails.</p>

<p>I’m sure they will resume to regularly scheduled notification scheme.</p>

<p>God Bless Internet.</p>

<p>How do you know this?</p>

<p>yeah, please enlighten us!</p>

<p>Err, no. Stanford isn’t exactly experiencing any network problems (I can connect to Webmail and SSH services with no problem). 30,000 emails are nothing in the grand scheme of things anyway - I’m sure Stanford’s email servers handle a lot more than that per day.</p>

<p>So who’s right?</p>

<p>ihavenomoney [sic] is 100% bs. Check Twitter.</p>

<p>Stanford has Twitter?</p>

<p>No…search for Stanford
and look for i got ins, rejected, and basketball, etc
everything appears on twitter first</p>

<p>meh im only relaying the messages from my buddies at stanford. don’t shoot the messenger :(</p>

<p>I received this email a while back.
“IT Services will be upgrading the servers which support the Stanford Email and
Calendar service on Friday, March 27th…”
Don’t know if it has anything to do with your not receiving the decisions yesterday but I doubt that Stanford really has a network failure.</p>

<p>^ yeah, I remember that being posted on my axess acount</p>

<p>wait doesn’t that mean decisions could come out today if Stanford was trying to upgrade their email servers in anticipation of sending out a lot of decisions?</p>

<p>^^^hope so!</p>

<p>^^^crossing my fingers!!!</p>

<p>haha i hope so too, but i doubt it</p>

<p>if so, then 3 hours!</p>

<p>2 hours…?</p>

<p>unless they come out at 5 of course… then 1 hour!</p>

<p>have Stanford decisions ever come out on a weekend?</p>

<p>Guys, I wouldn’t get my hopes up… I’ll bet they send out decisions on April 1st… </p>

<p>Just like they said they would.</p>

<p>they all say that though. rice said April 1st when i called them and the decisions came out an hour later.</p>
