I thought the original percentage was 16.4%. Is the new figure after wait-list activity?

Yep, the new figure seems to include an additional 114 applicants admitted off the waiting list, which accounts for the additional .5% accepted. Initially, 3,769 applicants were admitted in March:

114 waiting list acceptances is actually a relatively low number compared to Penn’s peers this year.
