[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Of course they let you in to <insert name of highly competitive engineering-focused college>.  You're a girl.  You could be a total idiot, and as long as you wore a skirt to the interview, you're in."
Spoken by a fellow (male) student, among others.
Riiiight. Having near-perfect math SAT, ACT and GPA, not to mention a national engineering award, had nothing to do with it. They accepted me - and gave me a merit scholarship - cause I wore a skirt (which I didn't, btw).  Good to know I'm so highly valued as an engineer and as a person.

I laughed it off the first time, but it got pretty tiresome after hearing it about 20 times from different guys (including students, TAs, administrators, alumni, parents of high school friends, and anyone else you can think of).  [/quote]

20 times?  there must be some truth to it then.  No?[/quote]

Jesus, you're an asshole.

No, there is no truth to it. It's just a field where there are a lot of smart guys who are not used to having their asses to them by a girl. They'll do whatever it takes to protect their fragile ego and the myth that they are the smartest person in the room. It's all they have going for them. [/quote]

Come on.  A couple of times and I get it.  Classmates? I get it.   If its coming from TAs, administrators, alumni....even parents of friends?!?!  What are they "protecting"?  It's clear as day that the problem lies with the OP of this string.  20 times and still blaming others? Now THAT'S  ego![/quote]
