| Is this true if you only look at top 25 schools? |

| For the most part, yes. Sometimes the ratio is not terribly different, but most schools now have a larger female population. |

| It is not true in many of the land grant state schools or STEM focused schools. It is true in the liberal arts types of schools. |

| Less true at top 25 universities because they have enough applicants that they can admit a quality gender balanced class even if their applicant pool skews heavily women. You can look this up in the common data set. Some top schools applicant pools are 60% or more women but the resulting class is closer to 50/50. |

| Very true at most of the SLACs, which is why they are so competitive for female applicants. |

| In dateconomics the author talks about this being an issue why college educated women can't find college educated men to marry and predicts the numbers will become worse. |

Book Summary:
"It’s not that he’s just not that into you—it’s that there aren’t enough of him. And the numbers prove it. Using a combination of demographics, statistics, game theory, and number-crunching, Date-onomics tells what every single, college-educated, heterosexual, looking-for-a-partner woman needs to know: The “man deficit” is real. It’s a fascinating, if sobering read, with two critical takeaways: One, it’s not you. Two, knowledge is power, so here’s what to do about it. The shortage of college-educated men is not just a big-city phenomenon frustrating women in New York and L.A. Among young college grads, there are four eligible women for every three men nationwide. This unequal ratio explains not only why it’s so hard to find a date, but a host of social issues, from the college hookup culture to the reason Salt Lake City is becoming the breast implant capital of America." |

That book is completely bullshit because it wants to have its cake and eat it too. It wants women to be equal earners and equally educated with men (great idea - truly fully support this but hasn't been this historic norm) but it doesn't want women to do what men have done since the beginning of time (date and marry someone of lower education/lower earners). So yes 'it is you'. "you" are free to be as open minded as men when it comes to dating (i.e. change the historical norm for women just as the female education/earning gap has changed over history), which would relieve pressure in the 'market place'. |

From the latest CDS
UPENN: Applied (Men): 18286 Applied (Women): 17580 Accepted (Men): 1771 Accepted (Women): 1947 For Penn, the posters are wrong - women definitely get a boost at penn. CDS doesn't break down gpa and sat's by gender but my hypothesis for Penn is that Wharton is the hardest school to get into penn and is very attractive to men and Penn has a big nursing school (which is a lot easier to get into) that attracts a lot more women. |
