Hi so I recently got accepted to Tulane and I am on the Facebook group and weirdly it is mostly all girls. I would say out of the 100 accepted 70 are girls which is really strange. Are girls just more likely to join the facebook group or what? I was already worried about the guy to girl ratio at Tulane so the Facebook group is really freaking me out. Obviously it’s not that big of a deal since I am going to college for the education but I would like there to be some diversity at the school. Anyone have any thoughts?
There’s a Facebook group? lol I guess I never checked for it. 43.6% at Tulane are male, 56.4% are female. However, as @fallenchemist can attest to, it’s not really a problem.
Facebook is self-selective for women more than men and for “party types” more than the “all academic types”. That has been the experience with these Facebook groups for about 7 years at least, the amount of time I have been aware of them. Also, that ratio at Tulane is very close to the national average. For 4-year colleges, women are out-attending men and out-graduating them for some time now. I think the national average is about 55-45.
what is the name of the facebook group? i have been accepted and am having trouble finding it.
It’s run by the Admissions interns every year. You could contact one of them via e-mail and ask for the link. It’s under Tulane Class of 2020.
