How common is it to be let go after probation period at BBs?

I'm a first-year analyst at a BB (Not CS / UBS) in the U.S. that just hit the desk a month ago. My BB has a 90-day "probation period" for analysts but overall the analyst program is 2 years. 

How common is it for analysts at BBs to be let go during or immediately after this 90-day probation period?
