32,000 seeking admission to Northwestern's Class of 2016

<p>I just did some math, and can’t decide if I’ve made a mistake…</p>

<p>32,000 total applications
2,500 early applications
29,500 regular applications</p>

<p>1,225 regular decision slots</p>

<p>1,225/29,500 = 4.15%</p>

<p>Does this mean NU will have a 4% RD acceptance rate?</p>
