Harvard 2+2 program?

<p>I just looked at the HBS 2+2 Class Profile for the class of 2014 on the HBS website. It shows that 6% of the 115 people admitted had a background in Business Administration. I found this somewhat interesting since the HBS FAQ also says the following:</p>

<p>“The 2+2 Program is primarily targeted towards students who are not already on a business track (i.e. students studying the liberal arts, sciences, engineering, etc.). If your current academic training and internship experiences put you on a solid foundation to advance in a business career, 2+2 may not be the right program for you. We encourage candidates with a strong track record of leadership and business exposure to consider applying as college seniors to our regular MBA Program.”</p>

<p>So basically this means 6-7 people were admitted to HBS 2+2 WITH a background in Business Administration. Can someone please give me various reasons why such people may have been accepted? I guess there is an exception to every rule. Thanks in advance.</p>
