CMU is about 60% male...

<p>So does that mean that they give some preference to women? I'm just wondering. I am an African American female so I'd like to know if this has any bearing on the admissions process.</p>

<p>A little boost, according to USNWR it was 31% admit rate for males and 37% for females a couple years back. Though I'm guessing it will vary on the school also since Tepper for example has more females than CIT for example. Being African American will help a lot though.</p>

<p>Being African American will help more than being female unless you are applying to SCS.</p>

<p>or ECE also to a certain extent</p>
