[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make the SAT and GPA equally weighted (50-50) and keep the rest of the app holistic (ECs, essays, LORs, etc.).

Just equally weighting SAT/GPA will level the playing field for boys. Males develop later than female students so their 9th/10th grade GPAs usually pull them down. Equally weighting the SAT (which is taken in 11th/12th grade) helps them show their growth.

Another approach is not counting 9th grade at all for either gender. Or giving more weight to junior year.[/quote]

Again…somehow all the issues you mention regarding male development were never a problem until like what 5 years ago?  10 years ago?

Clearly it’s more than this because men had no problem enrolling in college at equal and higher numbers than women in the past.

Also, there are hundreds of colleges with 90%+ acceptance rates.  None of the things you mention above for boys would impact their attending these colleges which include schools like Kansas or Michigan State which are top 75.[/quote]
