[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vanderbilt, but I dont if you can parse out by department. But I think if any college is underweight with men, it's very underweight w men in humanities. Esp true if there's a CS or Engineering program of note in the school which is helping shore up numbers. [/quote] I guess I don’t follow this logic. Those schools with CS and Engineeering of note have a greater percentage of men overall to begin with. Schools want 1) a relatively equal gender balance at the school overall and 2) to lessen gender disproportion of majors. (The former is actually more important to schools.) A humanities kid at a school that does not have lots of engineering/CS ticks both of these boxes. The kid at a school you describe ticks only one.[/quote]
