<p>Are less girls accepted due to the imbalanced male to female ration on campus? For example, if a male and female had all the same accomplishments as one another, would UNC accept the male over the female?</p>
<p>It is other way round Women 58% / Men 42% for class of 2015.</p>

<p>I can understand the presumption, but admit rates are identical. Proportionally more females apply to UNC resulting in a gender imbalance. I can find the stats if you’re interested.</p>
<p>Thanks to both of you! 
Do you guys (or anyone) know why UNC draws in more women? Or is it just 'cause? Haha. </p>
<p>Also, kind of unrelated, but is their any knowledge as to how many students from California go to UNC? Just asking because a lot of times when I visit states out of California people say, “wowww, you’re from California? How many celebrities do you know?” And so on. So, just wondering if people at the school are like that at all? Or are they for the most part pretty used to studying alongside Californians?</p>
<p>UNC draws in more women for the same reason nearly all American colleges do at the moment, more women apply and are complicated, for complicated socio-economic reasons. With a few exceptions (like the very top places, way better than UNC), you can bet that if a college has a roughly equal ratio, they are making it that way by being harder on the female applicants.</p>
<p>There are a few Californians here, but not many. But don’t worry, nobody gives a **** about California. In my experience, the people here who go on about California are the Californians. More than anyone else, they just won’t shut up about home.</p>
<p>^^^^^ Except the analysis is reversed in the sciences/engineering, where it’s tougher on male applicants.</p>
<p>One reason for the disparity in male/female is the lack of engineering school at UNC. Even though it is changing, the majority of engineering students are male so schools such as NC State will have a larger proportion of males.</p>
