Maybe even more than 500. [link eludes me] But somewhere it was written that the Cambridge session was the unpopular session. And since May 2007 YC has been featured in Newsweek, in addition to getting a groundswell press from each individual company (eg. Weebly in Time).

I'd bank on about 700-800 applications.

If anything it's the other way around, because fewer people are free to try something new on Jan 1 than June 1.
