[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the vast majority of tangible results, males are outperforming females. A major exception is college admissions which is tilted strongly towards females. [/quote] The expectation for college admissions is that your transcript is as close to perfect as possible. This requires a degree of brain development in 9th grade that most boys don’t have at age 14. Girls are at that level at a younger age. I see it with my son’s friends. So many had fabulous grades in 11th and 12th grade and high SAT/ACT, but a bumpy start to high school. Before anyone says “how do you know grades of other kids?” - the moms discuss and lament whether an upward trend really helps, this is how I know. [/quote]
