[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its not magically easier to get admitted just because of gender. STEM majors generally (especially engineering) have much higher thresholds for SAT/ACT scores and GPAs. The standard is HIGHER for these kids because the average score for these kids is HIGHER than other majors. So yeah, go ahead and try to game the system by going for the HARDER major. [/quote] Well that's what I would think too. But a poster on another thread indicated that because schools are so hungry for female STEM majors, girls would have better chances applying as STEM majors than non-STEM. [/quote] Yes, but they still need the harder STEM classes in HS. [/quote]
