[Star Trek] How hard is it to get accepted into Starfleet Academy?

Is there any lore regarding that?  Do they only take exceptional applicants or is enrollment a little more open?

Starfleet Academy only accepts the best. Cadets must undergo a battery of tests after their initial application is accepted.

From Memory Unit Alpha

>Dynamic relationships test - a spinning 3D cube consisting of a grid of blue dots in a 6×6×6 configuration, totaling 216 individual points. Surrounding the cube were 216 red dots flying around in a seemingly random pattern. To complete this test each of the red dots must match up with a blue dot. The solution required discovering the appropriate rotation factor and vector coordinates.

>Hyperspace physics test - among others, it featured a trick question: "If the matter and antimatter tanks on a Galaxy-class starshipare nine-tenths depleted, calculate theintermix ratio necessary to reach a starbaseone hundred light years away at warp factor 8." It was a trick question because there is only one matter/antimatter intermix ratio, that being one to one.

>Psych test - this test allowed the candidate face his or her deepest fears. The test itself was tuned to the experiences of the candidate. Wesley Crusher found this section of the test the most difficult and fearsome.

>Other cultures and species test - not always announced in advance, its purpose was to test the candidate's reaction to a member of another species. The reaction of the candidate was important.

>Carlundrum IQ test - here the candidate had to predict the variable patterns of platonic solids. The response time was important.
