Based on previous years, after the first stage it was whittled down to the 150 mark. Considering this year's stage 1 was a lot more comprehensive than simply essay writing, I doubt if it is more than circa 150, as they would actually have gotten a better image of what each candidate's chances of suiting the course are compared to essays, it would seem a waste of resources sitting through 2000 90-120 second videos when you already have a rough enough idea of each candidate's abilities.
Essentially, considering previous years went from 3,000 to 150 applicants based on 4 essays alone, it wouldn't make logical sense that a far more detailed examination would actually leave them with 500 after the first stage. Unless somebody knows something the rest don't.

However is this 150 number based on someones guess and now been taken as gospel or has it just been worked out based on previous group assessment days? i.e The amount of people per group multiplied by the number of groups assessed?

Also wondering did we all get the same questions or was it random in case people leaked them. I assume we're safe enough to discuss the questions as everyone should be complete by now

There were around 160 people at the group assessment last year in Shamrock house. A good/reliable source tells me that 80 is the number this year for 12 spaces.
There's no point worrying about it, your fate is already sealed for the next stage, and if you make it there, they'll more than likely divulge the kind of numbers involved in each stage

Back in 2013's recruitment process I was emailed 7 days before my group stage assessments. It could be different this year they seem a bit more organised than previous years.

According to one of the other forum pages regarding the programme and apparently somebody got their rejection e-mail today 
Don't know how much truth is into this but just thought i'd give the heads up just in case

And so begins the agonizing pain that is waiting and praying that we don't receive that same e-mail.
Its funny how we desperately want to get a reply back from the company but at the same time desperately don't want one at the same time!

I'm just a bit skeptical ... it was the poster's friend to begin with, and as well as that nobody else has received a thing, previously numerous claimed to have received emails after the first rumour was out that someone received one. I could be wrong though ... a part of me hopes they're starting to send them out and a part of me hopes they're not haha
