Not very many apparently, I heard a couple hundred.

a ****ing ridiculously low amount that would make pen and paper, and an actual line to MUSC seem like the gateway to heaven, or whatever you believe in.

If MUGSI is 500, I heard SOLAR is 350.

I remember someone asked an admin a year or so ago on here.

Mugsi is 500, SOLAR is 250.

Assuming McMaster has ~25,000 students and that all of them are trying to get into SOLAR right now - you only have a 1% chance of getting all the way in each time you click.

Don't worry, I did some extremely advanced statistics and have concluded that you have a 95% probability of getting in within 500 clicks.

Assuming each click takes 5 seconds to process, that's only 42 minutes.

This is of course not factoring in MUGSI/SOLAR's instability.
