[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The waitlist may favor males and full pay if schools find their enrolled class is lacking in those areas. But I did an experiment a few years ago when my son was applying to look up CDS reporting. The vast majority of schools are consistent across the breakdown of applicants, admitted students, and enrolled students. In other words, more girls apply, more girls are accepted, and more girls enroll, often at 60% or higher for each category. There were very few schools that I found where there appeared to be a big advantage to being male.[/quote] Your experiment was flawed. The qualifications of females are in general much higher. It is a superior pool. If the acceptance rates are the same, that means boys did, in fact, have a big advantage: the superior pool was treated as equivalent to the inferior pool.[/quote] It’s not clear if PP even looked at acceptance rates.
