[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Girls have higher GPAs than boys on average. [/quote]

A lot more women teacher in high school. [/quote]
The girls have better ECs too. They mature quicker and are more organized. It’s no surprise that they do better than the boys.[/quote]

This. Especially because the boys tend to spend most of their time on sports. Which isn’t very useful for the application, unless a recruit. While the boy keeps talking about his soccer game and focuses on his own self, the girl sits on multiple community boards, volunteers extensively, runs a club, and may also play a sport. [/quote]

Get over yourself. Both my sons played soccer- one was president of NHS and an active 4 year member of an academy club and ran a lot of the school drives. He had a part-time summer job too. My other soccer player is a musician, won literary awards and very involved in two school clubs. Straight As all the way through, 5s all APs and 35 ACTs.  Their friends were very similar—different sports.  Their HS has tons of T10/20/Ivy make admits who were not sports recruits [/quote]
