[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Essays from boys are going to be far inferior to girls and that is the major stumbling block.

As a female Georgia AO told us, "ask a girl to write how pretty she is and she will whip out 4 paragraphs. Boys need to take the same attitude."

Teenage boys dont write about feelings like girls do. And AO's want teenagers to pour their heart out in essays. This is like pulling teeth out for boys.[/quote]

Wow, that’s a pretty gross thing for that AO to say. Regardless, men managed to dominate both the collegiate and the literary world for centuries until fairly recently, so I’m pretty sure they should be able to manage writing an essay.

If they’re having trouble writing about feelings, perhaps it’s because they’ve been conditioned to believe they shouldn’t have those, not so much that they can’t do it. [/quote]

Missing the whole point.

Girls suck at math and it is not even close. So they have a ton of programs to make it easy to girls to get them into math programs.

When an admissions process weighs heavily to one where girls are strong, it would impact admissions.
