Happy:
The Dean of HLS is probably not the best one to base your position on. HLS has such a large class, that it HAS to accept nearly every applicant with scores over its medians (to protect its medians). There are just not enough 17x’s to go around today.
Chicken or egg, first? 
btw: look at UVa’s numbers: higher median on both GPA and LSAT; UVa is only 36% female. Do those 2 LSAT points really account for a 20 point differential in class gender?
