Why aren’t males attending college?

[Anonymous]

So many of the colleges we have looked at have gender imbalances with higher rates of females. What’s happening?

Test Optional admissions.

Trend will reverse as standardized tests come back.

The expectation for kids to be perfect (all As, ECs curated, super scheduled days) beginning in 9th grade does not match where most boys are developmentally at age 14. Girls are ahead here. So they start off behind and it is hard to catch up.

Perhaps only a small part of the puzzle, but some of the newer non STEM majors aren’t as appealing to young men, and STEM outreach has been focused on young women for quite some time. Also young men are probably more likely to be told to go into the workforce directly as education costs soar.

People like this are the problem and there are now far more supports and things for girls than boys. Our boys can have all a's, EC curated, adn super scheduled days, mine do.

Women created this problem. So much girl focus since “bring your daughters to work”, girls on the run, girls in STEM blah blah. Laura Bush is the only one that tried to invest in young boys with reading initiatives aimed at them. Feminization of the American education system happened. It did nor speak to boys developmental differences and needs early on.

Successful smart, college educated, good career men have even more women to choose from since they are a shrinking minority.
