How did you translate what has been said into the other HPHCs aren't selective?

And we really do value quality over quantity, too. Raw numbers may not show that because of the number of applicants we get, but percentages of applicants who make it v. those that don't, would.

For example a line of 50 from a pool of 300 that meet the minimum requirements is 16.7 percent. A line of 17 from an eligible pool of 100, is 17 percent. And if you then add in the applicants that did not meet the minimum requirement (the first phase of selection) the percents are even lower.

And I wouldn't be surprised at how many don't make it into Sigma Land. I WOULD be surprised if everyone who tried, did.

You took this in a direction the rest of us were not interested in going.
