[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Washington Post article this morning highlights that proper implementation of Trump's DEI executive orders will disproportionately impact males as their academics records are typically inferior to female HS students and far more females apply to colleges than males at most selective schools.

Estimates indicate that schools would quickly become about 2:1 female/male without preferences for males. The top SLACs have better gender balance than top universities (slightly better than top privates, significantly better than top publics) and have more tools to maintain this balance due to their small sizes and significant athletics programs. Its going be interesting going forward and any thoughts on what admissions decisions will look like this year in light of these events?

What's your evidence that SLACs have a better gender balance than T20s?  Seems like at almost all the top schools, other than Cornell and MIT, more women than men apply and women have lower acceptance rates.  At SLACs, athletic recruiting and a heavy thumb on the scale for male applicants keeps gender balance roughly in line but SWAP still all have a higher percentage of women students, from a 1.6% difference at Williams to 5.7% more women than men at Pomona.
