<p>Actually BBD, in your example your D would not have applied, did apply and got accepted, so % went up. But I get what you mean, although I think the impact of what you are illustrating on that statistic would be minimal. But you may be right. Still wouldn’t matter much, since acceptance rate is the lowest percentage item in the methodology, I think. I am talking about something that would directly impact a fairly major factor. Sure, if the factor were small enough they might just ignore the impact.</p>
