It seems my only chance is bypasses. At what point does a department bypass a canidate? Before or after the interview? If a canidate is bypassed, (in my case I need 8 to make 16) do they still go to #17? (would then be me)
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hey you might get a card from NM to carry radio-active sludge.
