Assuming you've looked into it, how impossible is it to license all of a school's admission data (i.e. every applicant's GPA, SAT, and admission status) in some anonymous format?

I would have loved a tool that that would let me enter a GPA and SAT score and then using actual data could tell me that 500 students with comparable stats (like +/- 0.1 for GPA and +/- 50 for SAT) applied to school X last year and 380 were admitted.

It's true that it would make my life a lot easier since I wouldn't have to collect this information myself from individuals. I just rely on self-reporting and statistical techniques to achieve approximate results. Now that you mention it, it would be interesting to get the full data from one school and see how close to the truth we actually get.
