[quote=Anonymous][quote]Thing is, most males are not applying with the same profile as their female counterparts. For whatever reason, girls tend to outperform boys in school. They get higher grades. They join clubs at higher rates. They participate more in the arts and music. They volunteer more.[/quote] I don’t think this is true for intelligent boys from high SES families - ie, the types of boys who apply to top LACs. There are significantly more boys than girls in the 1400-1600 SAT range, for example. Every study I’ve seen on this lumps together all boys vs all girls and does not break it down by HHI.[/quote]
