[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Waitlist movement at top20s last year was definitely heavily male. [/quote]

Yes I don’t know one girl who was called snd know dozens of boys.[/quote]

But wasn't that just a last year thing?  How do we know that will happen again this year? I thought that was just a random WL spike due to Trump being chaotic on foreign visas? Or do you think it's a bellwether for how classes will get shaped in future?

Waitlists are how schools fill their Institutional Priorities. They have a pool of a wide variety of students at their disposal; they can use that pool to shore up whatever slots they couldn't fill in the ED/RD round. From a gender perspective, in most cases, they have all the high-caliber girls they need already, so WLs are how they fill out the guys.

That doesn't really answer the "should girls apply ED", though. I think the logic holds true for all students: If the school is your #1 pick, and the NPC says you can afford to go there, then ED. If either of those aren't true, don't ED.[/quote]
