If you're too lazy to click on the link, Here's the BLUF:

Acceptance rate for men: 33%
Acceptance rate for women: 21%[/quote]

Yup.  You can make statistics say whatever you want them to, depending on how you frame it.

About 7700 applications are received annually.  About 28% are male (around 2150) and around 71% are female (around 5450).

Using your numbers for the acceptance rate, that means they accept about 710 males and about 1145 women.  So about 38% male and 62% female accepted.

If they didn't have higher acceptance rates for men, then the student body would be skewed even further.  They are a traditionally female college that is trying to become more balanced and coed.[/quote]
