Applicant-to-Vacancy Ratios
Understanding the competition:
- If 20 people apply for 10 spots, the ratio is:
👉 20 ÷ 10 = 2.0 → That’s 2:1, meaning 2 applicants fighting for each spot. - If 15 applicants apply for 20 spots, the ratio is:
👉 15 ÷ 20 = 0.75 → That’s 0.75:1, meaning less than 1 applicant per spot — no balloting needed!
