[quote=Anonymous]A few years ago I read that Cornell was trying to have their Engineering school be 50% women and 50% men. But, a lot more men apply then women, so the acceptance rate for women applying to Engineering was close to 20%, but for men it was below 5%. I don't know if they are still doing that. College Navigator site also has acceptance rates for men and women listed separately (but not specifically by school). You could check a few of the STEM heavy schools and see what the acceptance rate looks like. For example, WPI has a much higher acceptance rate for women than men (69% to 54%, but also a lower yield for women) but RPI has the same acceptance rate for both. Caly Poly SLO also has a higher rate for women (35%) than men (24%). MIT for women is 7%, men 4%; CMU women 15%, men 9%.[/quote]
