I also want to thank you for this thread. I just have one question, do you think that the field would benefit if the process was made more transparent? Like if (25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles) for GREs and GPAs, average age, experience.. etc are required to be released by programs. This whole process, with the exception of some programs, seems to be purposely made opaque. And if you do think it would, why hasn't the field taken the steps to make it that way?
