[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is this a surprise? Schools would like a gender balance, there are more qualified applicants than seats and top schools can afford to have a slightly easier acceptance rate for males and still get top students. There are more women applying to almost every top program. I am a mother of daughters and my oldest is at a school that is 60% female. I think a gender balance is important for college if at all possible.[/quote] I’m the OP and I guess it’s just a surprise to me because it’s my first time with a senior. I think it’s also harder to see one student succeed over another [b]objectively less qualified applicant [/b]when you know the kids personally. You really do learn something new everyday in this process. [/quote] You don't know who's "qualified" for admission or not. The college makes that call. Are you in other kids' grade book or something? [/quote]
