[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So will it help white male applicants? Especially low income? I have a horse in this race lol[/quote]

Not at most universities. It’s currently a huge advantage to be male at most schools so males may lose their preferential treatment. There are exceptions.[/quote]

It’s the first time I hear about the advantage of being male, unless it’s a liberal arts school [/quote]

From Georgetown’s website “The Wall Street Journal recently highlighted the shifting representation of men and women on U.S. college campuses, pointing out that men accounted for 71 percent of the overall enrollment decline across the last five years—and 78 percent of pandemic-related drop-outs. As of spring 2021, women made up 59.5 percent of all U.S. college students, a record high.” But women have been majority of college students for past forty years. One factor is the greater availability of well-paying jobs not requiring a degree that are traditionally male or currently male-dominated (including the trades). While traditionally female jobs like teaching and nursing can be lower paid but still require degrees.[/quote]

Thank you, I hope it will help my son but not holding my breath just yet [/quote]
