[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA ED was harder at our school than year’s past. [/quote]

Our school's UVA admissions was much easier for the girls and basically non existent for boys.

Usually UVA favors girls, along the lines of 3 girls to 2 boys

This year was more than a half dozen girls and 1 boy.[/quote]

Um maybe because the girls were more qualified? “Favors” lmao[/quote]
NP. Girls have, on average, higher GPAs than boys, on average. The heavier GPA weighs in admissions algorithms (vs, say, rigor and math scores), the more girls will be admitted.[/quote]

Requiring test scores would do wonders to validate GPAs and show that boys are just as capable but take a bit longer to reach that “all A” GPA in high school that you often see in girls. 13-15 year old boys are about 2 years behind girls on executive functioning skills and it shows up in their grades. My experience is at a private school that doesn’t allow late work or re-takes of tests. Maybe this isn’t as much of a factor at some publics that allow kids to turn in homework late with no penalty or retake tests so they know what to study for on the second attempt. IYKYK[/quote]
