[quote=Anonymous]Tons and tons of schools have more female students than male. This is particularly an issue for SLACS but also for many universities - AU, BU, GWU, at least a few of the UC campuses have undergraduate populations at or near 60% female. I'm the parent of boys, btw, and I wanted to steer my kid toward schools that were closer to a 50-50 balance. TBH I was also interested in understanding whether being a male helped with admission - for better or worse, it does not appear that is the case for most schools - there's a lot of consistency in the gender balance of applicants, admits, and enrolled students. In the end, my oldest happened to get into a SLAC via ED that is close to a 50-50 balance. Fwiw you can find all this info (and more) by looking at the annual Common Data Set and Enrolled Student Profile for each school that your DD is interested in.[/quote]
