“Except the majority of colleges now have lower entry standards for men than for women.”
That is absurd, as it would never be tolerated (unless those men are “preferred minorities”). It is no accident that 59% of college classes are female; it is designed that way.
Nope—you’re way behind the times. Schools are deathly afraid of hitting too high a female to male ratio—since both men and women then start to avoid it—so they end up favoring men in order to get closer to a balanced ratio.
Other than the top schools, they simply don’t have as many qualified men applying, so they drop the standards on grades and tests.
Sorry, Kearny, it's true. Forget about Stanford and MIT. Forget too about Rensselaer and even the NJIT's of the world where the girls have an easier time getting in. Think about the vast majority of schools like Catholic U and Seton Hall. The male/female ratios at those schools were getting so skewed that it not only became easier to get in if you were a boy, it was easier to get merit scholarship money. It may be the only time in a white male's life he's at a statistical advantage, but the advantage is undeniably there.
