Most competitive schools would really like to see gender parity in cs and engineering. So girls do have an advantage since even today there are still far more boys interested in those two majors.

I find it somewhat depressing that 60% of college students are female, most of the majors are majority female and all everyone talks about is how terrible it is that more males go into CS and Engineering and how we should “fix” it.

No one stopped males from going to college. I don't know why more females going to college is depressing.

It is depressing as the dating pool is getting smaller and smaller for these females that are str8 or bi with intention of hetero marriage, in our suburbs as im sure in yours being an Ivy educated mom turned part time pilates instructor married to a guy making over 500K is still the ultimate success story-lets be for real.

so our daughters chances of this are smaller and smaller--they will most likely marry guys at or below their own salary potential, some even talk of women marrying migrant workers as that ratio is 90/10 men....as this is a stem post lets do talk about the math

Perhaps the upside is that the Ivy-educated guy of today is not interested in their similarly educated Ivy wife throwing away all of that to become a part-time pilates instructor.

I mean, is that what you aspire for your daughters?

I aspire for them mental and physical well being. I don't want them having to prove themselves to people like you that the only way to happiness is having and being it all. AT a certain point we all have to choose our priorities, because if we make everything our priority-perfect husband, perfect career and perfect kids we will suffer.

How about you?

So then skip the Ivy degree and become a FT pilates instructor..give your kid the money to invest.

Maybe my Ivy son will be OK with this scenario, but I doubt it. You are conjuring up an image of people that graduated in the 1980s and 1990s that I think it is getting consigned to the dustbin.

You should explain to your son women have it MUCH harder and have to prioritize due to reality not choice, he needs to understand this as hopefully that will help him be more empathic and a better future husband, otherwise he will be one of these husbands women complain on in the rel forum.

Sorry...he needs to accept his wife will become a PT pilates instructor? This is a specific example that sounds fairly demeaning and pathetic to Ivy women.

There have to be better examples than this.

BTW, I assume spouses complain about a thousand grievances on the REI forum, so not sure there is anything anyone can do to be spared from the grievances.

I hope he hears other people better than mom (or dad), though I am assuming this is mom

It’s totally ok to gender balance a class, although I like it to 60/40 and not 50/50. CMU tries for 50/50.

Women do attrition out of the CS and engineering programs at a much higher rate. It’s probably a social thing.

Many years ago I was at an Ivy college when it was 60% male. I met a Caltech transfer who came “to meet more women.” Caltech was 75% male!

UMD with merit.

Denied at MIT, CMU, etc.. WL at UMich, ultimately decided not interested after getting off the wl.

It's brutal, especially if you are a white/asian male.

+1. So true.

Great...tell your daughter to aspire to become a PT Pilates teacher. Forget about becoming the first woman President...that's so early 2000s.

I have 2 girls. This is not true from my experience in top schools. Actually, being a girl is a disadvantage in Ivy admissions.

Maybe for other majors but not CS.

Girls are not getting advantage for CS at least for a couple of girls this admission cycle with high stat didn't get in.

My son’s first hand experiences suggest girls are at an advantage, statistically speaking. girls with the same credentials get in programs a tier higher than boys in general in STEM field. And I think girls should take advantage of it.

Well, i have first hand experience with my daughter (TJ '22) with > 4.5 gpa junior year & 1600 SAT not getting into any T10 for CS. She had ECs in CS + research experience. So, those girls that your son observed may have had other "hooks" - i.e. they would've gotten in even if they were boys.

okay, but she did wind up in a good school?

were you maybe ironic in your post? or just moronic?

I think the lesson here is that when it comes to admissions to selective colleges - whether male or female - it's maybe not a great idea to be a student at TJ.

The cohort and distribution of WGPA will be different for the next year senior class since they were admitted under the new system and the composition of courses they are currently taking is different from the current senior class. So no one knows the WGPA necessary to get into UVA. For the current senior class if you have high unweighted GPA but low weighted GPA (4.2ish), which perhaps shows a lack of rigor comparatively, UVA may admit for the Wise campus.

Not only that, but if you are banking on UMD for CS, don't. It's getting tougher to get into UMD for CS.

They cut the class size down to I think 700 -- 600 direct admit, and 100 transfer, and I think most will be from MoCo CC. It will be almost impossible to transfer into UMD CS within UMD or from other 4 yr universities.

No argument with the difficulty getting into UMD CS, but don't think it's the TJ kids that weren't directly admitted. It's all the others placed in L&S that will now be virtually impossible.

I guess your Ivy didn't teach you to distinguish between literal and figurative speech and writing...

As someone with an Ivy education (and a PhD), this would only be said by someone who doesn't actually hold a degree from an Ivy, a graduate degree, or a top-notch education. In these circles, not having a substantive job of some sort (it can be a volunteer position, but widely understood as meaningful) especially as one's children are older is, well, not ideal. We are polite about it and don't say anything, but we all assume either debilitating mental illness or self-centered. An elite education is a privilege, and you are meant to give back to society.

Apart from some disadvantages with college admissions, It's incorrect to undermine the educational benefits at TJ with strong peers. From a firsthand experience, I wouldn't change anything even though my DC aimed at MIT and ended up in Michigan.

Jeez-I never said these women just go around parading in Lulu's all day, they do other stuff as well to be accepted by their friends who are probably like you, they virtue signal, but to be the sole provider and be a great mom to three kids with full time work-Ivy or no ivy-im sorry this isnt possible nor realistic!

Is English not your first language? Your communication is awful...perhaps you are making a different point than what we think you are making. It is getting lost in your run-on string of words.
