Don't misrepresent where you went to school.

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.

"Admitted students prove their ability to succeed at Harvard in their admissions courses"

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.
