Not meaningless if in the sample being referenced the total student population is 200 (100%) and 50 is the total of students in the honors roll. If all 50 of the honor students went on to college, that represents 100% of that group or 25% of the total. 50 of the non-honors also made it to college which also represents 25% of the total, but only 33% of that group. In this case being in the honors group is statistically meaningful in regards to moving on to college.

Not having all the data points one can only speculate that being fast-tracked gives Anavex a higher chance of being approved or at minimum a path to faster approval.
