[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably. Do you have a son or daughter? If son, more likely to be accepted as the gender balance is out of whack.[/quote]

That’s nearly all schools. Not just W&M. Look at the gender numbers at other schools, too. More women are pursuing higher education than men. [/quote]

I think engineering is still dominated by boys. [/quote]

not BME and not Environmental E at the elite/ivies: the top girls flood engineering in these fields and they are well over 60% female. CS is even 50-50 at some. Only EE remains heavily male. BME+premed is an extremely oversaturated female application group at all the top non-techy schools. Females tend to apply to ivy/elites with interdisciplinary focus in Engineering; males dominate the techy schools only. My D went to a top STEM magnet school and none of the top stem girls the last 5 yrs applied to VT, GT, CMU, UIUC. One applied to MIT. They all applied ivies Stanford Duke WashU as a backup and even Wake and W&L are preferred by female engineers over "techy" schools. Recently Swarthmore has gotten a lot of them.  Almost all BME, CS, environmental. Females and Males in engineering get into elite schools all the time from this magnet, but the shift to tons of Engineering females is new in the past few years. We have a former JHU AO who works at the school and has noted that white males especially are underrepresented in the applicant pool at these schools and can get in easier than they can to CMU, MIT.
