[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would cutting off one’s own d*ck render you such an huge advantage in college admissions? I understand it if there is no disadvantage if you’re not a psycho. But a huge boost like what we’re seeing now is crazy. This country is totally fugged up.[/quote]
It is more competitive to get into a college as a woman than a man. A majority of colleges have affirmative action for male applicants to improve the gender ratio.[/quote]

Maybe at other colleges but there is no "man advantage" at UVA.[/quote] 
[b]16% more applications from women and only 1% higher acceptance rate for women than men. [/b]Women are, on average, better students academically. That is definitely affirmative action for men.[/quote]

False. https://thejeffersoncouncil.com/probing-uvas-gender-gap-is-it-an-admissions-problem/[/quote]
Hey Einstein. Their CDS is public and supported that 16% more women apply but the acceptance rates for men and women are different by only 1%[/quote]

And? You think more women should be admitted "because women are smarter" or something?  :roll:

Roughly equal acceptance rates is what you would expect from roughly equally qualified applicant groups... Einstein.[/quote]
This is outside this discussion but yes. Better applicants should have better representation in the applicant pool. This makes no sense as an argument.[/quote]

The actual facts that emerge from the people who have seen the entire applicant pool - i.e., not you - should make you question your premise that the women applicants were "more qualified". If men and women were admitted at equal rates (as they were) then this indicates they were equally qualified. But I understand it's more comforting for you to cling to the idea that there is some form of affirmative action for males happening. I definitely suggest you contact Dean J and ask her why she is admitting so many unqualified males. Is she one of those handmaidens of the patriarchy or something?

PS I'm sorry your DD got rejected.[/quote]
