I don’t/didn’t care for the secrecy of Landscape the way I don’t care for anything that makes admissions less predictable than it otherwise might be. There is heavy use of mathematical modeling in admissions, either in-house or through external enrollment management consultants. Those models are proprietary trade secrets. Price is a separate issue, though that too would be a concern for many. It’s the black box of holistic admissions that isn’t so black for those managing the variables. If the data were known, families would form college lists accordingly, which would naturally dampen application volume.
