[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One factor could be that girls have a harder time in admissions because there are more high achieving girls. So girls’ schools are at a disadvantage relative to coed schools.[/quote] Except women comprise a higher percentage of acceptances/matriculation at most of the top schools, so that doesn't really hold.[/quote] I have been looking at the CDS for schools my kid is interested in. Women make up a bigger percentage of students at most schools but they are admitted at slightly lower rates for many. For example Swat admits 8.2% of male applicants, 6% of female ones. Brown is 6.7% of males, 4.2% female. Dartmouth and Georgetown also admit slightly higher percentages of guys. If girls are stronger candidates as a pool, the selectivity effect would be intensified.[/quote]
