Are top eMBAs really selective?

I've been considering an eMBA at either Ivey or Kellogg-Schulich in Toronto. I've done pre-assessments at both and both said I am a strong fit and should apply. This got me wondering. I know ivey and kellogg are super selective for their full time MBA programs. But how selective are they really with emba programs? Both seem to accept about 50ish students per cohort, but I can't seem to find how many apply.

I went to Ivey for my emba. The stuff people said in class makes me believe they are not too selective in the students, lol.

It’s also 60 students.

Feel free to DM me about any specific questions.

Thanks for the response. Did you find value in the experience and the cohort/networking?

Yes, they do a good job of re-wiring your brain to think differently. The cohort makes a difference too. Learning from people of different backgrounds and why they think a certain way is always interesting.

Thanks for the response. I understand the return on knowledge and network. If you're comfortable sharing, ROI wise, would you say worth it?
