“Nopeyoure way behind the times. Schools are deathly afraid of hitting too high a female to male ratiosince both men and women then start to avoid itso they end up favoring men in order to get closer to a balanced ratio. Other than the top schools, they simply dont have as many qualified men applying, so they drop the standards on grades and tests.”
I’ve followed this issue closely; they just don’t want the student bodies to reach 60% female (59% is fine with them).
60% is the turning point of pretty much no return in being an attractive school to prospective students. But to keep from hitting that dread point they accept boys with lesser records than girls.
You need to follow it a little more closely.
