Sorry this is nearly two years late but I just wanted to corroborate with the calculations.

5500 applicants

Assumption: 790 ED Applicants

RD Acceptance Rate: 6%
ED Rate: Unknown

Overall Accepted: 500

So if 23% of the dudes are accepted, 184 students are accepted.

Hence, a further 366 students will be accpeted in RD
So, if 790 apply ED, approximately 4760 will apply RD.

Therefore, 366/4760=7%.
However, the ED rate is something like 6%.
Assuming 790 to be correct, you’re calculation is in fact very accurate. Additionally, the admission rate may increase even further because many of the applicants are applying to Coordinated Programs with the single option in a Non-wharton school.
