<p>They erred in calculating the Harvard admit rate - even by their own (probably inaccurate) numbers for apps and admits. If - as they say - there were 3,873 apps, and 804 admits, that means an admit rate of 20.8%.</p>
<p>If, on the other hand, Harvard correctly reported its own numbers at 3,812 apps and 812 admits, then the admit rate was 21.3%</p>
<p>You have to wait, really to see who is, and who isn’t, counting in their app total apps which were withdrawn or incomplete. Sometimes you don’t get the real story on this point until many months after the fact.</p>
<p>Some of the other numbers are also at variance with numbers reported elsewhere.</p>
