The report is for high school classes of 2024 and 2025, not current high school seniors.
So for each listing there may be several students with that exact GPA/SAT/AP/Honors combo? That seems a little strange to me.

Hopkins reaches down to page 10, top 15% GPA band, all 1500+.

I don't know enough about this, clearly. But why doesn't something like this happen?
Yeah I don'y care what that kid's ECs are, s/he should get into one of those schools. We've lost our way on college admissions.

Yikes! I wouldn't want this. Maybe because my kid goes to a smaller school, it would be pretty obvious to know which kid is which.

First five pages: High test score (1500+) AND high GPA (top 10%). Excellent results. Cornell, Brown, T5
At or below 50% GPA, there are a few standout acceptances (T30 schools):
page 37, 1560, NYU
page 36, 1520, Boston U
page 29, 1520, Boston U
page 28, 1520, Emory
page 28, 1560, UM
page 27, 1540, CMU
page 27, 1520, UM
page 26, 1560, NYU
page 21, 1570, Columbia
The rest of below 50% mostly go to SUNY and CUNY without a high test score.
I wish every school has this kind of transparency so we don't have to rely on anecdata.
Pages 19-21, around top 30% GPA band, some ivy/T20 acceptance with high test scores:
page 19, 1560, Cornell
page 20, 1570, UM
page 21, 1540, Rice
page 21, 1570, Columbia
page 21, 1550, Cornell
