Partially true the story has kind of morphed. They did have a direct flow with a few colleges that allowed for a direct flow with no interview. If I had to pull a number out my butt it would be like 15-20 that came if that. As to the one armed guy, I saw him in sim building. If I remember correctly, it was severed between the elbow and hand, and had a modified appendage like a thumb on the end. So technically not one armed. one handed more like it. But enough to make you look twice amd get the rumors floating.
