<p>not necessarily- although after the class of 2011 had a higher yield than predicted, that may be true going forward. In the past, around 1500 offers went out to yield a class size of 1240, give or take. Based on acceptances, additional offers were made [usually a small number, if any]</p>
<p>The number of offers does depend, however, on incoming from the other sources for any given year- 60 or so from foundation, and numbers from NAPS- all of which have a seat in the incoming class provided they meet the requirements of those programs and obtain a nomination [the latter essentially a non-issue].</p>
