This data DOES NOT show Simpson's Paradox.
Step-by-step explanation:
The acceptance rate for any given group is ...
(number accepted)/(number applied) × 100%
__
Example:
For the overall acceptance rate for men the numbers are ...
809/1040 × 100% ≈ 0.7779 × 100% ≈ 77.8%
__
I find it convenient to let a spreadsheet do the tedious math and rounding. In the attached spreadsheet, the total is the sum of the numbers to its left.

Simpson's Paradox is a condition in the data where group trends are different from the trend of combined groups. For gender-related issues, it usually means that men and women individually experience different results than are illustrated by combined statistics.
Here, men are accepted at a higher rate for each program, and the overall rate for the school shows a higher acceptance rate for men. These results are consistent, so there is no "Simpson's Paradox" illustrated by this data.
