I know CMU admits a greater percentage of women than men; the disparity is greater than average.
This is true of MIT but it’s not because they’re less selective with women; the female applicant pool is stronger over all so a higher percentage of them end up being admitted.
Fewer women apply, and if they want even classes, a greater percentage will be admitted.

It's shown enrollment/desirability drops off if a college gender balance moves beyond 60%female/40%male. Women don't want to attend college where they are big majority. It's a fact. Nobody to date.

Many many colleges skew female..some close to 60 40 percentages. Females are facing some very tough competition for most universities.

Look at the cds for the schools you’re interested in and report back to us. I’m interested in the question too.

I have wondered about this too. William & Mary accepts 42% of men and 33% of women, VT accepts 53% of men and 60% of women. Those are noticeable differences. If they are equal, classes will be especially skewed.

Yes but it's like a 6% admission chance vs a 4% at the competitive schools. So it's not like the girls are waltzing in.
