^To add to that I think it makes sense for Penn to admit 54% because those are the people who have Penn as their top school and will definitely go when admitted. More specifically, they have proven that Penn is their top choice IVY. I’m willing to bet that at least half of the ‘strong applicants’ in the RD round will have applied to more Ivies than just Penn, so if Penn admits them they run the risk of giving a spot to someone who may have better stats than the other applicants but will ditch Penn admitted to HYP.
