A lot of people submit continuously for years until they either pro out or win. Plus even though there's thousands of stories as your competition each quarter, they have an honorable mention system which lets you know how you're doing as a writer (if you get an honorable mention, you know if you're probably in the top 10%, and then on up for the other tiers), which you almost never get from other markets. If you get high enough (I think semi-finalist) you get an actual critique from the judge.
