[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there an actual admissions advantage for a male applicant to express interest in, say, comparative literature or a female applicant to profess a love of physics? Just wondering if LAC’s care enough to bump an applicant for areas of study where there aren’t as many boys/girls. While on the one hand it makes sense I could also see this being gamed by kids with no real intent to study in the professed area. [/quote] Harder to game than you think. Yes, some schools have an "one door" policy that makes it easy to switch majors (Case Western). However, the application can make it clear that the student does not have the aptitude for a particular major by looking at their course load and ecs (a STEM student with no STEM credentials) [/quote]
