Global Alpha Test Start Date

More than likely, the App selection process went like this:

Q1 - A + C = through
Q2 - B + D = through
Q3 - A + D = through

All the way through the final question.

Then, the whittled down number of applicants are reviewed based on Age, Experience, Location and PC Specs

Finally, the QA Public Testing Lead will review the Remaining Applicants eliminating people based on the way they Post, The way they Play, and their Reputation. People who have Alpha Tested for SE before will certainly have priority. People who were obnoxious in the first Alpha will be immediately excluded.

Alpha Testers are not random people thrown at a game. They are selected in a way that will maximize the effectiveness of the Desired Tests.

Not raging here but I seriously doubt thats how it went. The "proposed" (un-confirm-able "I made its") data says otherwise.

Exactly. Especially the part about reviewing what the user posts and their overall reputation, no one will go that far to get a body for the stress test. They might mark down people who act inappropriately though, like if you were banned before for something, chances are you get filtered. But all the measures are automatic, no one wants to read thousands of applications to select from.
