>>You are very misinformed re white males having a more difficult time getting into college, When compared with white females a white male with much lower scores will be accepted over the female<<

Not in these Unites States. You never heard of “Affirmative Action” — THE de-facto guideline for all college admissions?

Sorry if you found my comment hostile — you are the one who is badly misinformed (and thus deserving of the question based on incredulity of your statement). Google “affirmative action college admissions” and “reverse discrimination college admissions” if you need a few hundred thousand links to back up my contention.

Interestingly, I couldn’t find any to back up your assertion, but many that say the opposite (and thus back me up).

You say you could find no data to back up the preference for males in college? Good grief man, are you from another planet? LOL

Just google male college applicants and you will find endless references.If that is beyond your level of motivation then read the first of many articles:

Male College Applicants More Likely To Benefit From Affirmative Action

If Bakke were an applicant today his story might be very different. A survey of admissions directors released last week found that male applicants of all races are far more likely to benefit from affirmative action-like policies than female applicants. What's behind the aggressive push for male students is the decades-long trend of more women on campus. Women have comprised a majority of students in higher education since 1979. Many colleges have sought to remedy that imbalance by admitting more men, especially among undergraduates, forcing schools to reach deeper into the applicant pool.

BTW "you never heard of affirmative action" is yet another hostile statement. LOL
