Ok. There were 435 applications for this summer. I assume that YCombinator's traffic has been growing steadily and that more hackers have been captivated by YC, so therefore more will apply. 65 more probably isn't too far off the mark.

As for the other assumption that YC will accept more than they did last time, I'm basing that off of Paul's words.

Can I still become an economist?

Hey, the great economists are the ones who get really good at just making shit up.

Check out Confessions of an Economic Hit Man. http://books.google.com/books?id=nJFFrLX-924C

Isohunt also shows me the book and audio book is available free online.
