<p>Does anyone know how many people on average apply to the LSM program per year and what the admission rate is?</p>

<p>approximately 200ish people apply and I think about 35 are selected. I’d say the acceptance rate is from 15-30% depending on the year. Also the group of people that apply are vey self selected</p>
