Wildy varies. I'm a new grad and got my first offer after 8 applications and got another offer last week unprompted. Meanwhile my friend graduating from the same university has done 300 applications and a couple dozen interviews with no offer.

Likely it's something about the two individuals. GP probably interviews better, is more confident, more attractive, something like that.
