[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The top colleges could give more weight to academic scores on tests such as the math SAT, AP Calc BC, Chem, Physics, Comp Sci, etc. Those are the competencies that best predict big lifetime impacts in entrepreneurship, hard sciences, engineering, income, etc. If the colleges did that, and ignored how kids did in 10th grade English or how many volunteering orgs they started, they’d have more males than females in their classes. It’s all a matter of priorities. [/quote]

As a mom of DD who got an 800math and straight 5s on those APs as well as many more stem APs, took precal in 9th grade because the school's math department head moved her up in 5th grade, I would be fine with this. There would remain plenty of women in engineering and stem at the schools where stem women want to go: ivies/Stanford etc where classes are small, arts are all over campus and students take classes in all areas with kids from other majors. 
Her ivy has an applicant pool which is already over 60% women for chem majors, BioEngineering, Environmental engineering and other stem fields. That is the applicant pool. Those majors have the same ratios for matriculated pool. Sure, weight the scores higher and let in more boys! Cut the girls who get 4s and cannot get at least 770. All women able to keep up in STEM would mean fewer males who[b] look askance at the women as being some sort of DEI admit[/b]...until my D and others crush them on the exams. [/quote]

You're gross.
