EOI is a big joke.
In July, only 2.7 % were selected from 8,261 applicants. In August, 100 applicants were only chosen from the pool, with 75 points the lowest. More and more applications are coming into the pool every minute, and are automatically ranked accordingly. No wonder if one day, the lowest to be chosen are those with having 80 pts.
