I do have some interesting stats on 18X Selection rates thru each stage of the program.

However, instead of answering your question it is likely more appropriate for me to repeat what the QPs on this board will likely tell you, and have told others before.

There is only one Selection rate
100% or 0% and you are the only candidate.

In line with where this thread is going re: going into the program with the right mentality / Point of Energy, the best advice I have gotten is straight from the LTC Martin book "Get Selected for Special Forces".

"Write down why you MUST be Special Forces" (Ch 8)
Write a short essay on it. When the going gets hard, you need it clear in your head WHY AM I PUTTING MYSELF THRU THIS PAIN.

The answers I've had is that the majority of those you quit during Basic are thinking something like this...
"Basic is hard and I hate it, how much more am I going to hate SFAS etc."
"Why am I putting myself thru this pain again?"
"I can't really remember"
"OK, I'm going to quit right now - I'm happy with 11B in the 82nd or 101st"

HTH
