PE MBA Admissions

How are MBA admissions looking for this cycle? At my UMM (historically known for good b-school placement), results were so-so with a few H/S admits but also some strikeouts, would say <50% of applicants got in to one of H/S. Everyone who did get in had basically had the perfect app - good undergrad, very high GMAT, good recs, etc.

How did it go at other firms?
