feat(admissions): replace sparse Q&A list with 2×2 stat tiles

The "How Hard to Get Into This School" this-year view rendered four
question/answer rows stretched to fill the trend chart's height, leaving
tall gaps and a long horizontal jump from a small muted question to its
number. Replace with a 2×2 grid of stat tiles — each number paired with
its label directly beneath — so the panel reads quickly and fills the
reserved height without artificial spacing.
