The Production Director at Gravity Well Games (an independent AAA studio) mentioned on LinkedIn that they had to close an Associate Producer role because they had 650 applicants. Anyone landing that role would be in the 0.15%

The Harvard class of 2029 had 47,893 applicants out of which 2,003 were admitted. Harvard's admission rate is 4.18%

It's 27.8 times easier to get into Harvard than it is to break into the games industry.
