[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are most ED2 admits to selective schools female? And then male in RD to even out class?

Trying to make sense of what we’ve seen at our private over last 2 cycles with ED2. It’s hard for girls in RD universally.

Also have been told no shot at Vanderbilt RD unless Val/sal; best bet is ED2 and deferral to RD. Is any other school in the lower half of T25 like this? WashU? Rice? Emory?[/quote]

That’s interesting. My small sample was only boys getting selective RD acceptances. But girls did well at ED. Perhaps the boys were also bigger risk takers and less fond of ED.[/quote]

In what I’ve seen in 2 cycles and talking to IEC, high stats boys do better in regular decision than high stats girls – because they’re way more high stats girls, than high stats boys in RD. Esp esp true for non-stem majors (for both groups).

In regular decision, over last few cycles (private), saw boys have multiple accepted RD outcomes while many similarly situated girls did not. The only girls that tended to have multiple top acceptances outcomes had some sort of really unique hook.

RD is the last chance for schools to get full-pay students and to even out the gender ratio. Good chance to grab some strong men to round out the class.[/quote]
