Male:female ratio

Post by Jgrav33 »

Hello- I am still very early in the process but am curious as to the male to female ratio of applicants. For those who have attended any in person stages what would you say the split was?

I know that the female employee % is quite low (I have read varying numbers but generally between 15-25%). Wondering if this is still true with current candidate pools as well?

For the FEAST session I attended there were 20+ men and 2 women. At the 2 day bootcamp there were 9 men and 1 woman. I am starting a course next month, the class consists of 10 men and 2 women.

Seems like it's pretty much the same percentages with current applicants then. Interesting! Thanks for the feedback :D

Training is sounding very difficult, you're doing great! How many people are still in your training class? May I ask what happened to the ones that are no longer there?

Out out 13, we have 8 remaining. We are nearing the end of specialty training.
I'm not really at liberty to discuss details of other students... but in general most are CT'd for failing evals.

How much time are you given to practice on the sims for upcoming evals? Can you go practice anytime you're done classes?
