[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.  But few have W&M's disparity, and most respond simply by accepting more women.    [/quote]

Quite a few are similar.  42% of UNC applicants last year were male and 39% or enrolled students were male.  39% of W&M applicants last year were male and 39% of enrolled students were male.

UVA first years in Arts and Sciences in Fall 2020 were 39% male.  W&M has similar majors to UVA Arts and Sciences.

Engineering schools tend to be heavily male.  UVA first year engineering last year was 66% male.  UNC does not have engineering.
