As I recall, about 30-50 students a year take DS by direct invitation. (I’m not sure how many they invite but “yield” seems to come in around 40). The remaining spots are filled by application to get a class of about 120.

Something in your application suggested to them that you might be interested in DS, and its not as simple as having been explicit about your interest in it.

Here is a thorough description by a recent DS student: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/9308975-post6.html
