Top Exits From A Statistical Standpoint

If you were to look at investment banking, one could take a guess to say around 1500-2500 investment banking analysts are created among strong MMs, BBs, EBs. However, only so many want to go to a Top Tier Exit and only so many get the offer. Statistically speaking, what do you think the % of people who make it into the prospect dick sucking exits look like (HFs, UMM/MF PE, Top VCs, etc.). Would you say about 20% of an analyst class is fair? While statistically it may be harder to get into banking, the exit market deals with a smaller sample size.
