[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most schools pay little or no attention to possible major during admissions.  Those that have a separate track/college for engineering will have higher admissions standards for applicants. The premise/tip that inspired this thread is just stupid.

Yeah, a STEM girl might get into [b]MIT or Mudd with slightly lower test scores than a STEM boy [/b]because Mars needs Women, but there’s not a whole lot of transfer out of STEM potential in either place and an applicant who wanted to go to MIT for Econ or Poli Sci would have been equally if not more admissible on those terms than if she tried to pass herself off as a STEM major.[/quote]

No look at the numbers for those school. Here is MIT

https://mitadmissions.org/apply/process/stats/

You need a near prefect scores on ACT or SAT to get in. They have enough applicants with high scores that they do not need to pick a slightly lower scores for gender. [/quote]

The link posted doesn’t include any breakdown by gender.[/quote]
