Mine was 5 out of 11 hired. I know 2 out of 10 before. The acceptance rate seems to be 10-50%, so I'm not totally surprised. How was the group interview? IMO, one could usually tell about others in terms of who would make it in the interview. In our interview group, it was obvious based on the group interview alone which candidates wouldn't get hired.

I talked to an VX HR lady yesterday and she told me about 4% that take the online test get hired. She said it's easier to get into Standford then hired at VX. Interviews this week were for May classes. CP told me the plan right now was to hire 25 and 12 have left so far for greener pastures. Probably more will be leaving.

I keep hearing these big numbers, yet the new seniority lists published every month don't seem to reflect it.
