[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The advantage was there but not so much now  at many competitive schools.[/quote]

Most competitive schools would really like to see gender parity in cs and engineering. So girls do have an advantage since even today there are still far more boys interested in those two majors.   [/quote]

I have 2 girls. This is not true from my experience in top schools. Actually, being a girl is a disadvantage in Ivy admissions.[/quote]
Maybe for other majors but not CS.   [/quote]

Girls are not getting advantage for CS at least for a couple of girls this admission cycle with high stat didn't get in.[/quote]

My son’s first hand experiences suggest girls are at an advantage, statistically speaking. girls with the same credentials get in programs a tier higher than boys in general in STEM field. And I think girls should take advantage of it. [/quote]

Well, i have first hand experience with my daughter (TJ '22) with > 4.5 gpa junior year & 1600 SAT not getting into any T10 for CS. She had ECs in CS + research experience. So, those girls that your son observed may have had other "hooks" - i.e. they would've gotten in even if they were boys.[/quote]

okay, but she did wind up in a good school?[/quote]
