[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is applying to a single digit selective college.
In her school there are two boys who are also applying, both from very wealthy families. One is legacy and heavily donates, another donates seven digit donations.

Actually, girls are more likely to be accrpted to prestigious colleges than boys, by an increasingly large margin.[/quote]

No, they aren't....Here is an explanation from Chat GPT:
In general, acceptance rates for girls are lower than for boys at highly selective liberal arts colleges and Ivy League schools because admissions offices try to balance skewed applicant pools. However, at STEM-focused institutions, acceptance rates for girls are higher because more men apply.Because women currently make up nearly 60% of overall college enrollment, many highly selective schools receive significantly more applications from women. To maintain a balanced gender ratio, schools often evaluate female applicants more strictly, which results in lower admit rates for girls.Where Acceptance Rates Are Lower for GirlsAt Ivy League and traditional liberal arts schools, female applicants face steeper competition.Brown University: In a recent application cycle, the acceptance rate for women was roughly 4%, compared to 6.7% for men.Swarthmore College: Has historically accepted around 15% of female applicants versus 21% of male applicants.Tulane University: Female applicants significantly outnumber males, leading to a much more competitive process for women.Where Acceptance Rates Are Higher for GirlsAt schools specializing in engineering, technology, and science, male applicants vastly outnumber female applicants. To boost female representation, these institutions admit women at higher rates.MIT: Women are roughly twice as likely to be admitted as men, with an acceptance rate of about 11% compared to 5% for men.Carnegie Mellon: Has accepted approximately 37.5% of female applicants compared to 31.6% of male applicants.How to Check Specific SchoolsBecause admissions criteria and applicant pools vary heavily by major and institution, you can verify the exact gender breakdown for any university by reviewing its Common Data Set—a standardized report released by colleges that details the exact applicant and acceptance numbers for both men and women.
