I would suspect URM or ED, but that's pure speculation based on nothing...

I'm pretty sure all the charts on MyLSN account for URM and ED.
There's always user error, but not to that degree.

Good point. Hadn't used the graphs much and didn't give it much thought. I've got nothing.

I think the strongest explanation is YP, nothing else seems to fit to that extent.

I think YP is the consensus answer.

American is always my favorite:

Wow. Way to go American. UVA is likely just a YP. As you get higher up, the adcoms don't need to YP nearly as much.

I'm not sure YP explains UVA, since there's the green band right above the red one. If YP was what UVA was going for, why would they accept kids with higher LSATs than the kids they YP pwned?

I bet a good bit of the trend you're curious about is due to randomness. There aren't that many observations for any one GPA and LSAT combo, and even for gpas beginning in 3.3x or 3.4x there are only 50 or so entries for each LSAT score. Plus MyLSN is self reported and splitters are inherently more random. Even in Cornell there are patches of yellow in the green, and those patches make a vague streak as well. It might have just so happened that for UVA those patches were in a more obvious streak.
I think the thing to take away from the graphs is that better numbers equals better chances. But if you're worried about YP write a sincere loci
