[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These gender-disparate application specifics are not unique to W&M.  My older child applied to an Ivy a couple of years ago and the admissions and acceptance rates were wildly different by gender. Pretty much true everywhere.[/quote]

I don't believe for a minute that this is true.  It's easy enough to verify, though.  Identify the Ivy and provide a link to the numbers.

Yes, many colleges have more women applying than men.  [b]But few have W&M's disparity[/b], and most respond simply by accepting more women.    [/quote]

Interesting. I wonder why that is?

My DS is OOS at an extremely competitive high school (not in DC). He has a 3.0 GPA and a 1410 SAT, varsity athlete and OK but not great ECs. Is he competitive at all for W&M?[/quote]

My DC was at one of the "extremely competitive" high schools in this area and from DC (so out of state) with pretty much the exact same stats--with one nice, but not great EC, leadership position. Rejected from W&M. [/quote]
