“Brenzel said Yale will most likely admit about 1,150 more students from the regular-decision pool in early April, yielding an acceptance rate of about 6.8 percent.”

This sounds misleading to me… that might actually mean a 6.8% acceptance rate for the regular decision pool. The overall acceptance rate would be closer to 9%. Still, the math comes out to about 7.5% based on their hypothetical 1,150 number for just regular decision, so I’m not sure where they’re getting the 6.8 from.
