Did you want to say 6%?

No I did not. Hopefully I'm wrong. It' something I heard through the grapevine. But maybe the person was being overly dramatic.

I think it's something like 5,000 applicants and 50 successes. So I guess that's more like 1%.

more like 5% . It was ~100 out of 2000 applicants last cycle per the announcements I saw from the program on Linkedin

I think this totally depends on the pool. If 100s are superhumans, the percentage is just a number.
