[quote=Anonymous]If you look at the data from colleges over the last few years, girl applicants outpaced boys nearly everywhere, in some cases by significant margins. As a result, acceptance rates for girls became far more competitive than ones for boys. I would bet that the most significantly impacted groups were white girls from highly competitive states (Northeast corridor and California) whose families fell into the infamous 200K-300K earnings pit - making just enough to be considered upper middle class but not enough to afford full tuition. We know several who had high performing girls (my own family included) who fell into those categories, and the results were in line with what we were seeing from others in similar situations. Those who were full pay did have better odds, and even if their son had lower scores overall, their results tended to be much better. Our sample pool wasn't extensive, but it matched with what was being reported at the time.[/quote]
