[quote=Anonymous]I agree that the amount of the advantage is not large at really selective schools. Then there are schools like Colorado School of Mines/WPI/RPI where it matters. There are certain schools (not necessarily CSM/WPI/RPI) where women expressing an interest in STEM not only get a leg up but also get $10k or even $20k more in merit aid than men. These schools tend to have historically been predominantly male and/or have very few majors that are not STEM related. I imagine, although our family doesn't have any direct admissions/merit experience, that there are also schools, that maybe were once all-women, where men have a leg up in admission and/or merit aid. I don't think these types of advantages are really something students go looking for very often.[/quote]
