“to know the trend GPA of accepted applicants can provide useful insight into the admissions process”

Well I guess that depends on how you define “useful insight”. What you’re trying to do is predict a probability based on a single aspect that carries an unpredictable amount of weight in a majorly subjective process. You can look at the numbers all you want if it makes you happy, but every year you’re going to see people with relatively low GPAs get into Berkeley, people with relatively high GPAs get rejected, and people who get rejected from SB but accepted to Berkeley.
