<p>Would you guys say that is easier for females to gain admission to engineering programs, like, say, the Carnegie Institute of Technology?</p>
<p>I've noticed that the female to male ration is something like 1:3 at many engineering schools, so I was wondering whether or not being female would make it easier to gain admission, in the universities attempt to create a more even ratio between the sexes...</p>
<p>It can be a plus to be a female interested in engineering.</p>
<p>yes it is easier for women to gain admission over men in what i would refer to as ratio-challenged universities. </p>
<p>I don't quite understand it, women are given both an advantage in getting admitted to a top university and then an additional advantage when looking for a boyfriend. Boys have a limited amount of women to choose from, we should get an advantage somewhere!!</p>
