Some schools offer complete admissions stats?

Been browsing law websites. Looks like UC davis published something they call a "catalog"
http://www.law.ucdavis.edu/publications ... atalog.pdf
Page 34 has a section called "applicant group for the class entering Fall 2013".
It gives a really, really complete breakdown of applicants and admissions.
i.e. there's a chart that lists lsat score against gpa, in relatively small increments (174-180 168-173, 162-167, etc) (4.33-3.75, 3.74-3.5, 3.49-3.25, etc).
And then, in the intersection, they give the applicants and the admissions. For example, in the group 162-167 and 3.74-3.5, there were 295 applicants and 278 were accepted.
I mean, this is great. What's really wild is how close these figures are to LSN. for example, for this group on lsn, they have 25 applicants, 3 waitlists, and 0 rejects. that's like 95% vs 90%. Even with 168-173/2.75-2.99 splitters, the publication gives 9 apps and 6 admits, and lsn gives 2/2. Pretty freakin close, especially for a less-popular-with-the-lsn-type-crowd school like davis, and ESPECIALLY for a splitter.
I guess I have two reasons for posting this. One, if anyone is thinking of applying to or going to davis, the first thing you should do is check out law school transparency. The second thing you should do is check out this chart, because it's awesome for a school to publish these. It needs to be out there.
Which brings me to my second question. Anyone else know of any other schools that do this? I have been looking, checking catalogs/publications/etc for different schools and haven't come across anything similar yet.
I will keep looking. If anyone else finds anything like this, please share! It's like a more complete LSN!
I wonder if schools would provide this via email if asked nicely?
