My reasoning does not imply a smaller male applicant pool. Where did you get that? At issue is the academic record of the applicant pool not the size of the applicant pool.

It is a fact, however, at many schools boys don't need as strong an academic record as girls. And Blacks and Hispanics don't need as strong an academic record as girls. Do you conclude this is all because lesbians in control of the admissions offices? Now that's funny!

You're fabricating these stats. They don't jive with the real world.

From our well-established, nationally-known high school, DOZENS of girls with 1200 SATs and 3.0 grade averages were admitted to prestigious state universities over DOZENS of boys with 1450 SATs and 4.0 GPAs.

When asked why this was, the response came back "because we need to give the girls a helping hand." This was two years ago.

Nothing you've offered is supported by fact.

I wish it were.

I'm sorry. I thought you read your own posts.

There is such a high percentage of women applying to college that the admission offices have different standards depending on the sex of the applicant.

Ignoring your doubletalk, why don't we simply go back to ADMITTING STUDENTS ON MERIT.

Radical, huh?
