<p>I want to see the chart for Bob Jones University.</p>
<p>I'm not buying this for a second unless wellesley attracts really ugly/awkward people.</p>
<p>^ lol. I don't think there are many crazy girls would want to go to an all girls school.</p>
<p>Uh, magmaman...AUlostchick's friends are pretty representative of the overall population...the majority of people have lost their virginity by the time they're 19, and by 21 the vast majority of people are non-virgins...</p>

First of all, read the first post again. This is a WOMEN'S college. This is data from ONE COLLEGE. These two facts have at least two important implications: (1) the fact that it is a WOMEN'S college means that it is probably not a good representative of data for mixed colleges, (2) even if it were a mixed college, it would not be a good representative due to its small sample size. Try throwing 100 more colleges into the mix and you will have a better sample size and a better representative of this sort of information.

<p>Actually, there's a .pdf that was linked at: <a href="http://counterpoint.mit.edu/%7Ewebserver/Documents/archives/Counterpoint_V21_I3_2001_Nov.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://counterpoint.mit.edu/~webserver/Documents/archives/Counterpoint_V21_I3_2001_Nov.pdf</a> where they break the data down for MIT as well as Wellesley. It's surprising how similar the two are, actually. Also, at one point they cite a stat between grad students and how at MIT the virginity rate is 35% while at UCLA it was something like 14%. The whole point of their survey seems to be to show how much their campuses deviate from national averages.</p>
<p>Edit: Also wish they broke down stats for each major at MIT by gender. I'd be curious to see if the handful of girls in technical majors tended to whore out or withdraw because they don't like all of the attention.</p>
<p>This is an interesting article. It's fun. It was about Wellesley and MIT, and it was for the enjoyment of Wellesley and MIT. Pretending that either one of those schools (or both of them taken together) is widely representative would be an exercise in futility, but that wasn't the purpose of the survey.</p>
<p>magmaman, I think my college is probably much more representative of the population in general (since it is a state public, and many more people go to those than go to all-girls schools that are very high ranked) meaning that my friends and acquaintances are probably more representative of the population as a whole. Few of my friends are especially slutty, but few of them are virgins either. I think that is pretty representative of the bell curve of the population.</p>
<p>Note that these statistics reflect people who say they are virgins, not people who actually are, which could be very different.</p>
<p>Yeah, everyone knows math nerds are the biggest liars.</p>
<p>Doesn't Wellesley attract mostly really ugly girls?</p>
<p>Ouch, wutangfinancial...I wouldn't really say that. From all the profile pics I've seen on the Facebook group, the girls who've been accepted so far seem to be very attractive. Plus, I'm not that bad looking, either. Soooo no.</p>
<p>I'm attending Wellesley this year and I'm not ugly</p>
<p>Edit: that probably sounded really conceited but o well.....</p>
