Anecdotal stories of girls doing well in RD

Mine got into a top 20 in 2024 RD.

Interesting question. Girls at my kid’s nonfeeder private have had a tougher time in RD during recent years. T-20 RD admits for girls have been rare. Girls in my kid’s crowd all did EA, ED, ED2, and even there, boys seemed to do better. Not a complete surprise because the girls also were more likely to be in the top 10% of the class and not only had their intra-school competition but competition with their similar peers at other schools as well. It’s not fair and I’m saying this as the parent of a boy who may have benefitted from the current state of things.

So depressing. I don’t understand it.

It is depressing but it is perfectly understandable, just a numbers game.

It's difficult to be non-offensive, but since you ask, for example, an Asian girl who captains the softball/pom/cheer team.

Which stereotypes do white students need to go against?

Stop baiting.

That's not baiting, booboo

You need to be poor.
