There are two reasons I can see. First, as butler blue mentioned, the schools want to be able to predict the probability that you will come if admitted. (This matters for funding and slightly for admissions as well, IMO.) Second, for its long run information, the school is interested in knowing what schools it is competing against for applicants.
