[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I assume gender won't be able to be considered when the Supreme Court overturns affirmative action this summer?[/quote] I have wondered about this too. William & Mary accepts 42% of men and 33% of women, VT accepts 53% of men and 60% of women. Those are noticeable differences. If they are equal, classes will be especially skewed.[/quote] Court case is about race and race only. Schools are free to set up the gender balance they desire today and in the future. Most won’t go beyond a 60-40 split for the reasons cited elsewhere. So women at many schools applying for engineering do get a break but not a huge one. [/quote]
