You Once Had Better Odds Getting into Harvard than Apple

Apple is all about being exclusive, and it seems that also applies to job opportunities. Or at least it used to.

As reported by Business Insider, in 2009 the Cupertino company announced that over 10,000 people applied for a job position in the new Manchester Apple Store that launched that year. 

Out of those thousands, only a few more than 200 individuals managed to get the job. That’s around a 2% acceptance rate, which not only is low, but it’s also way lower than Harvard.

In 2008, the prestigious university only accepted 2,000 applications out of the 29,000 that it received, giving it a more solid 7% acceptance rate.
