Part of the issue is the portfolio. An applicant can be a 5.0/1,600 stat student and if they can’t drawing is stick figures, for any school that required a portfolio, it’s going to be a “no thanks”.
Virginia Tech provides a pretty useful tool to narrow down admissions statistics by school/major and other criteria. https://udc.vt.edu/irdata/data/students/admission/index but yes, for many other schools it’s incredibly opaque and can lead to a bit of the shotgun approach when picking schools to apply to. You can’t assume rejection at one that might have been a “target” indicates anything about how others might come back. S23 had 3 applications admitted to the university but not to the program “we welcome you but pick from a different program”.
