I was thinking about this while reading the other thread on this topic. I have no inside information but if I were Google what I'd do is have an automated system that profiles the Google accounts given with each application. Since they couldn't have gone through all the applications that quickly I assume there is a triage system. Profiles that match exactly obviously got an automated shipment regardless of what else they put in their application. But I assume there's a "maybe" list that is gone through by an actual person (if not there'd be no point in asking all the essay questions) Given that you might not know for some time (since you could not have matched the "instant shipment" list but might still be on the "maybe" list)
