Sorry, long time lurker here who just made an account, because I am one of those people who wrote 'uk grads'... 
It wasn't a long-pondered decision, I did so because I:
1.) saw many people wrote something along the lines of 'Canadian MA / LSE master's / Hong Kong top 3'
2.) genuinely thought this would be more helpful for future applicants to get an idea of the program make-up, however biased the sample may be, as we can then have more granular data than just 'A/U/I'
3.) thought it may encourage future undergraduates from the UK and beyond to directly apply for US programs. The level of information over here is even lower. Most faculty members and students here thought a master's is a necessary condition for entry.  I definitely wouldn't have even tried without some strong encouragement and reading this forum, which helped me to understand the American system in countless ways

I'm convinced it's because some of them are in league with the devil. 

Thanks for the reply! That makes perfect sense.

Ok so I have a question that I'm sure has come up before, in the context of the "uk grad" additions to results. I have a Canadian undergrad and a Canadian MA on the way - I know that that put me at an immediate disadvantage for my R1 applications. Are there any uk grads here who want to explain why they qualify all the results, and anyone at all who could explain the relationship between UK universities and prospects in the US? I'm familiar enough with the Canadian context, but I'm out to sea on this one.

Is there a way to filter the search so that we don't see the LSE results? I feel like I know way too much the various departments at LSE than any other school on the planet lol.
There was another comment about how "uk grads" like to put that in the comment section. I thought that was funny too.
