Right. 16 percent for boys, 17 for girls. Not easier for boys.

In contrast, at William & Mary it was 41 percent for boys and 34 percent for girls. Easier for boys.

Seperate by OOS now.

Wow, I thought you were exaggerating about them looking the same but I just saw the page. Quite unsettling.

And they all seem to be pre-med or pre-law.

And so many say "I am 100% committed to UVA". Not sure what is real or not these days.

Boys don’t post on these pages.

They're all really cute. So what's the problem?

UVA uses the same admissions criteria.

Teach your children to work hard and excel instead of always looking around for every headwind and making excuses.

I don't see whining here.

Yeah, that’s my point. The rate of admission doesn’t mean anything.

Oh my God you people are relentless. When there's data going back a decade showing more girls applying every single year but nearly identical admissions rates by gender you can pretty much assume the school isn't taking gender into account. It's certainly more likely to mean that then some know nothing on DCUM "thinking" otherwise.

Are you saying years of official data should be trust more than my browsing instagram ?

Seriously, though, I worry for people when I read this board.

DP. No it doesn’t. It means less competition.

Everything is an easier admit for boys except for women’s colleges and a few tech schools.

Yes, definitely at UVA.

No, they don't. Here's the data.

You'd need to know the qualifications (SAT, GPA) of each group to give a more definitive answer. In general, there are a lot more qualified women applicants these days.

Anonymous wrote:Fewer boys are applying to college. This is a sad state of affairs and has been addressed in articles if you read. So if the number of girls applying is higher, it means there is more competition between girls. Boys aren’t taking anything. Or having an easier time. Get over it. Stop blaming boys.

Exactly my point. Fewer boys applying means less competition among boys makes it easier for boys to get an acceptance. This admission cycle, 5/5 boys out of state for UVA were accepted, whereas the one girl I know who applied also out of state was rejected. I asked this question based on my observation. All have similar stats. The girl who was rejected from UVA was accepted to Michigan engineering. One of the 5 boys also accepted to Michigan engineering.
