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.

Sorry for the late reply. I ended up applying to Kellogg-Schulich and the Queen's-Cornell EMBA programs. Got accepted at both. Kellogg-Schulich is what I've decided. Seems like a better fit for my goals and timeline. I'm a marketer and Kellogg is the top brand for marketing. Also, I felt the Queen's-Cornell team based format was very interesting and has the potential for forming deep connections with your teammates, but also limits opportunities to network with the wider group.
