Does anyone else wish UVA would provide seprate stats for oos students?

<p>When my D was deciding where to apply we tried very hard to get the usual stats for OOS applicants. The same stats that everybody gets: middle 50% of SAT, class rank, GPA. We asked by phone, e-mail, visits to my D’s HS and on our visit to UVA (speaking with an adcom in a meeting we arranged). They refused to give us data on OOS applicants. I felt this was a bit disingenious. I do have to budget time, money, etc. for school trips and apps and it seems very reasonable for me to be able to interpret their data to see if I want to make that(those) trip(s). They want people to apply. I understand that. But they don’t want people to decide for themselves if it is worth their effort. I understand that you can get in with below average stats, but if the chances are low enough it might be better to apply elsewhere. That should be the applicant’s decision, but UVA will not give out the info needed to make that call. Should I really go visit and interview at Harvard with a 1800 SAT and 3.3 GPA or would that trip be better spent at another college?
My D did not apply to UVA, mostly due to its size (she wanted a little smaller), but their complete refusal to give us the stats did rub her the wrong way.</p>
