Imperial MSc Finance How hard is it to get in?

A similar sort of question as posted before, hope to get more responses this time around. How hard is it really to get into? I would like to think not as hard as LSE or cambridge. They get 650+ applications for about 40 places. Imperial, I dont think they can get more than 700 applications, and they have currently 123 students registered on the course(tanaka website). So then, how hard is it? Any responses will be much appreciated. Thanks!

Percentages of applicants admitted dont actually tell you all that much. It assumes that your name will be drawn from a hat.
Some courses have an artificially high percentage of acceptances because of self selection of the best applicants, whereas others, such as LSE's MSc in Fin & Eco or Acc&Fin, have an artificially low acceptance rate, as people who wouldnt have a chance in a million years apply to it anyway.
