<p>The Office of Undergraduate Admissions sent letters of acceptance to 3,468 high school seniors on Friday, selecting 18 percent of the 19,275 regular applicants to the Class of 2015.</p>

<p>The admission rate this year was slightly lower than last year's regular cycle rate of 19.3 percent.</p>

<p>The acceptance rate for the College was 17 percent, the lowest among the four undergraduate schools, but application rates of the other schools were only slightly higher. Among applicants to the School of Foreign Service, 19.8 percent of applicants were admitted, compared to 19.4 percent for the School of Nursing and Health Studies and 19.2 percent for the McDonough School of Business.</p>

<p>Black students make up about 11 percent of admitted students. Twelve percent of admitted students are Latino and 16 percent are Asian-American. International students comprise about 10 percent of the admitted group.</p>

<p>While 4,590 applicants were accepted in the early and regular cycles combined, the target incoming class number is 1,580 students, according to Charles Deacon, dean of undergraduate admissions. There are currently 1,200 students on the waiting list.</p>

<p>“While 4,590 applicants were accepted in the early and regular cycles combined, the target incoming class number is 1,580 students, according to Charles Deacon, dean of undergraduate admissions. There are currently 1,200 students on the waiting list.”</p>

<p>That is incorrect. The total of all admitted students is 3,468.</p>

<p>It looks like the article is correct: 3,468 “offered admittance on Friday” in the regular round, and the rest were EA in December, for a total of 4,590 of “early and regular combined”.</p>
