[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because girls dominate college admissions now. They have stronger applications and do better overall. As a result, many colleges have more females than males (UVA is an example). So, they admit males at a higher rate to combat this. Good examples are Brown, Wesleyan, and Vassar.[/quote] yeah but my DD doesn't want to attend college that are either male dominated or female dominated. she wants a normal mix and colleges are in the sales business of selling their product! colleges can recruit better applicants long-term if they can show they have a healthy mix of genders. so I don't blame college for gender balancing at the margins. we also should examine what it is about our education system and brain development that's favoring girls. I do think boys benefit from entering kindergarten older.[/quote]
