can anyone post approximate numbers of IBD analysts each year, and also for S&T? I was always under the impression that S&T classes are atleast as large, if not, larger than IBD analyst classes. There were posts here in 2008 sayign that GS S&T intern classes were about 175, with 60-80 slots for FT. How accurate are these numbers?

actually, here is the post according to one intern in GS S&T

Penn by far outnumbered everyone. From Princeton to Dartmouth, it averaged around 5-7 kids per school. Taking into account there were like 150 junior undergrads, its not extraordinary representation, but many came from a great school.

Total class was around ~180. Around 20 sophomores, 15MBAs. HUGE class
