Except in real life, the #1 signaling college has a graduation rate of 98% and an average Grade Point Average of A-.
As the saying goes, the "only way to flunk out of Harvard is to die of a heroin overdose."
A high graduation rate doesn't necessarily mean there's no bar. It may mean that the admissions system actually does its job or that people who can't meet the bar self-select away when they see the price tag.
