Economics, finance and data science at Imperial

Hi guys. Does anyone know what the acceptance rate is for Economics finance and data science at Imperial college London. I saw one guy on Reddit saying that during the interview for 2023 entry he was told that there are approximately 3000 applications for less than 75 spaces. This doesn't seem far fetched considering it is a new course and that they have rejected every FOI request regarding the topic. I also remember attending the open day event for the course where they refused to reveal the acceptance rate despite multiple people requesting them to do so.

It's a new course so there is no data yet as far as I'm aware.

Hi, I am one of the current students.
Applications - 3000+
Interview - around 400
Number of offers - IDK (probably around 100)
Acceptance - less than 75
Few couldnt meet conditions due to math. Few choose Oxbridge and LSE. I had offers from LSE and UCL.

I would say overall wonderful. However, effort is needed.
