It seems disingenuous to say numbers are manipulated by HC.
Supporting and proffering their strongest candidates is something other colleges do, such as BC etc.
And yet their published acceptance rate is indeed extremely high.

The flip side is discouraging weaker applicants from applying. This could be a good thing for the student, in that s/he can switch to other plans without wasting time and money on futile medical school applications. But some will want to try even with a below average chance, rather than be weeded out by their college.
