<p>What’s in it for the colleges if they release more detailed data? It seems to me that there is not much in it for them save more criticism on what they ‘should’ be doing. I think most selective colleges endeavor to release the least amount of info they can get away with on the stats and demos of their accepted and rejected applicants. Sure, some give the appearance of being more forthright than others but most of this extra data is not parsed finely enough to be of much use.</p>
