I wonder, has the attrition rate at SFAS changed any in the last 20 years. The success rate in my class was 27%. Were they typically lower? Of that 27% (I figured these numbers myself from the total number of the class versus how many got "selected". I'm told that about 16% of an original SFAS class actually make Q Course graduation (I'm not sure of that figure since I don't have any "real" numbers to back it up - if anyone does, I'd appreciate if you let me know as it has been a topic of interest to me).
If the numbers have been steady, I'd say that the standards have not changed. But, I cannot answer this question from personal experience since I think that I would need to have, at least , 10 years in the teams to have a good perspective on SF over time.
