<p>Those are just estimates with factual numbers from previous two years; by definition, they aren't meant to be really accurate. I could make a wild guess on the number of offers for this year but I wanted to keep this simple.</p>
<p>Who really knows how much the yield would change?</p>
<p>Last year, the administrator miscalculated and ended up with a bigger class than they anticipated.</p>
<p>International applicants, applicants who put more time into the NU specific essays, etc. will all factor in.</p>
<p>While purely a guesstimate - I wouldn't be surprised if the admit rate falls btwn 24-25%.</p>
<p>I'm applying next year...</p>
<p>and I'm totally screwed.</p>
<p>so am I... </p>
<p>I heard next year is like the peak year...</p>
