It sounds like they don't count the people who attempt the admissions courses and either drop or don't make the grade. That would certainly improve the numbers. It's nonetheless a really good stat.

They've filtered out the curious - to pursue admissions requires time and money (cash) . You can't even apply for financial aid unless you're admitted, so 84% is great, but it selects for the most motivated and most invested.
