You (and the admissions office) are correct, and here is the arithmetic:

Presuming the number of overall applications increases by 6 % (similar to last year’s increase), the number of overall applications goes from 21,135 to 22,403. Also presuming that GW accepts 6,655 (similar to last year’s number), then: 6,655/22,403 x 100 = 29.71%, the approximate acceptance rate for the class of 2015.

The EDI 18% increase may not necessarily translate to similar rates of increase for EDII and RD. Interesting, thanks!
