assuming you're interested in physics, gradschoolshopper.com is exactly what you're looking for.
 
The level of detail that you can find depends on how much information the school will release. You shouldn't focus too much on statistics. Just look at their stats that they provide on their own website and try to surpass that. You don't need to be doing any complex statistical analysis on your chances of getting it.
