The eligibles list is around 29,000.around 3,000 failed the written exam.

I took exam #6063 back in June 07,#5,6XX,so far they have appointed up to #484,but only for 2 classes. For the medical they got up into the 850′s. Eligibles list expires Feb/2012.

For the physical they called in 3,759 who got an adjusted score of 100.

Well sounds like the job she has now as resident anthropologist, (and still teaching?), is a really cool job.
It is just amazing how many people out there are interested in trash.
