What are the odds of getting selected if you apply for the Astronaut Program (NASA)?

Question

You can help me by telling how many apply.. what were their qualifications etc..

Answer 1

Well heres the facts from Nasa.

From an average of 4,014 applicants, an average of 118 are asked to come to the JSC and undergo one week of interviews and medical examinations and orientation.

20 slots that open up every two years.

So if you apply, you have a 2.9% chance to be called for an interview.

You have a 0.5% chance to enter Astronaut Training.

Answer 2

Here's some examples from the Sally Ride Interview
First American Woman in Space


What were the odds of your being selected for that program?

Sally Ride: They were pretty darned small. There were about 8,000 of us who applied, and out of that, NASA picked 35 of us to be the first Space Shuttle astronaut class.

Had they ever taken a woman?

Sally Ride: They had never taken a woman. One of the reasons that they were putting ads in student newspapers was that, first of all, they hadn't taken any astronauts in about 10 years, so they needed to get the word out.

But NASA was looking for -- you know, the astronaut corps at that time was still primarily test pilots, but they had some scientists in the corps, and they had made it clear that with the Space Shuttle program, they actually needed an astronaut corps that was more than 50 percent scientists and engineers, less than 50 percent test pilots, so they made it very, very clear that they wanted people with science and engineering backgrounds, and that the test pilot or even a pilot background was not required, they'd teach us everything we needed to know about that.

Answer 3

14000 people apply and they only choose 100 so your odds of getting picked are 14000 to 100
