There is my estimate for next year(2008),

Assumptions,
1) Target enrollment # : 5400 (go a bit lower after a over-enrollment year).
2) # of application: 28000(up from 27400+)
3) Yield rate: 47%

The estimated(2008) acceptance rate is 5400/47%/28000 = 41%
It's really close to 40%, any # is better than the assumptions may bring it down to 30ish%.

What if the # of applications is going close to 30000? It will be like around 38%.
