[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably. Do you have a son or daughter? If son, more likely to be accepted as the gender balance is out of whack.[/quote]

That’s nearly all schools. Not just W&M. Look at the gender numbers at other schools, too. More women are pursuing higher education than men. [/quote]

I think engineering is still dominated by boys. [/quote]

Biomedical and environmental engineering at both my kids’ T10s are 60-75% female. Mechanical is 20% female and CS is close to 5050. Electrical is almost 0 females. Females overall are approaching 50. Highly technical schols like RPI are dominated by males but at top schools that allow and encourage a lot of interdisciplinary study outside of the engineering program or within it—women engineering applicants heavily favor these schools. Since they are the most selective they get the best of the best females, and the schools have no problem getting outstanding females. In BME it is becoming almost a negative to be a female, similar to female bio majors: premeds dominate and premed females are far too common in the application pool[/quote]
