Acceptance rates by gender are published in the Common Data Sets. Most top schools tend to have little difference between rates for genders.[/quote]

Schools like MIT, Caltech, Georgia Tech have significantly higher admit rates for women.  This is also often true for engineering schools within larger

My son’s high school counselor said my son had a better chance at admissions because he is a male in humanities.[/quote]

True. Except for engineering and business, males are in a big minority. Male:female ratio in all colleges across the country is 41:59.[/quote]
