<p>Does being a female intending to major in mathematics help my chances of admission at all? I've heard that females have an easier time getting into colleges if their major is math/science related but I don't know if that's true or not.</p>
<p>I’ve heard that females applying for engineering may have a leg up because many schools want to boast about the women in their engineering classes (because its so obviously a male dominated field.) I’m not sure if this extends to math.</p>
