[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More women than men applied yet they admitted more women than men.  I am aware that this follows national trends but it's starting to look a little lopsided with 1500 more women undergrads total.
I know they don't get much $ at all from the GA but do they have room to expand both facilities and enrollment or are they constrained by UNESCO status or simply lack of space?[/quote]

There are simply more women than men with good stats these days.  Last year's class was 57% female.  That is about the national average.[/quote]

So the war on boys is starting to bear fruit.[/quote]

I don't think there's a "war on boys."  When I was growing up, I think boys were taught they were smarter than girls and being smart was encouraged.  Now, I don't see boys being taught they are smarter than girls, and there is a bigger emphasis on sports, even for kids who wouldn't have necessarily been into sports when I was growing up.  I think it's what parents themselves are prioritizing that's resulting in this change.  Boys actually have an advantage in college admissions.[/quote]
