Girl to Guy ratio, class of 2014

[apathy]

<p>

It’s not like each of those 22 people is being forced to live off campus. Some of them could have gotten rooms but decided they liked the $1000 housing discount more. And there’s still that open double in Linde that nobody pulled!

</p>

<p>regardless, there are still 22 people who are living off campus, who would have rooms otherwise, because if there was no housing crunch off campus housing wouldn’t be paid for by HMC, and definitely no $1000 discount would be offered. as stated in the e-mail HMC sent out one of the reasons they were doing that incentive and stuff was so upperclassmen would be more willing to move off campus, because last year it was a pack of sophomores who were screwed over because they indeed were actually forced to. (the drama was pretty epic, fyi) and that Linde double will be filled by someone on the waitlist, probably.</p>

<p>^ It’s my understanding that this is one of the big reasons for the lower yield target/admit rate this year.</p>

[thefirstdude02]

<p>Indeed, but it’s not enough to compensate for the last two years - clearly. I still posit that they may have underestimated the yield percentage for this year. It was funny to note at ASP how the library and a common room (2?) in Case had been converted into massive quads.</p>

<p>O.o</p>

<p>so it finally happened.</p>

<p>What an epic moment</p>

[Blackroses216]

<p>mhm… 101 girls, 95 guys.</p>

<p>Of course, this doesn’t take into account the few people (5-12, lets say) who enrolled but won’t actually end up attending. Nor does it take into account the 1-2 people they may take off the wait list. These are approximations.</p>

<p>The yield for girls went up from 24.3% to 31.1%.</p>

[Blackroses216]

<p>“What if there’s more girls in our class than guys??! o_o”</p>

<p>“I’m pretty sure the universe would implode.”</p>

<p>I’m starting to get a bit nervous… >.></p>

<p>Is this posted/emailed somewhere or is it just word-of-mouth at the moment… ? It is an interesting development, if true!</p>

<p>(my incoming frosh is a girl!)</p>

[Blackroses216]

<p>He forwarded me the email that was sent out to the rest of the student body.</p>

[braden]

<p>Yep. S’true.</p>

<p>Cool – can you post the email here? Does it give any other interesting info on the incoming freshman?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Thanks Braden for posting. I wonder how this will change (or not) the dynamics of the school – and if it reflects a shift in what fields women are choosing to study or if it a one time peak.</p>

[dawncoming]

<p>Dear me!!no international students from mainland China! But I know where all the Chinese admits are heading off to, haha Mudd is sooo horrible at marketing itself in East Asia. Even Ohio State University is more well-known in eastern Asia. I hope the admission office will take notice of that. :)</p>

</p>

<p>I hope MIT and Caltech can be the same as Mudd this year. Haha We women are going to “dominate” every field now I hope in recent years West Point will be stuffed with women soldiers, women lieutenants, and future women Generals!! :D</p>

<p>Or perhaps this is because there are more women than men on this planet. more and more girls are born every minute, while fewer and fewer boys. (this speculation holds water in my family at least!)</p>

[maruhan2]

<p>1 from South Korea.
So, now i understand what that number meant.
It’s 1 coming from a south korean school.
I know 3 international koreans excluding me, who’s going to attend Mudd but is not attending a school in korea.</p>

<p>edit. This basically confirms it. Out of those 3 I mentioned, 1 is attending a school in Indonesia and another is attending a school in Qatar, which are represented over there.
So, it’s what school the person is attending, not his nationality.</p>

I asked the admissions office for contact details and sent out twelve emails to the admits from China, Taiwan and Southeast Asia (including you, Dawn). I got two replies…</p>

<p>It would be interesting to compare the yields for this year to those from last year.
However the interesting comparison would be for those not admitted early.
Does anyone know how many men and women were admitted under regular admission
and also the number of men and women who accepted under regular admission.
If someone has the same data for last year that would also be interesting.
I had conjectured that the yield for women would go up and that the yield for men would go down at least among those admitted under regular admission.</p>

[maruhan2]

<p>I think there was a data that showed how many ED were admitted and how many regulars were admitted</p>

[twocollege]

<p>Perhaps but I was interested in comparing the yields for men and women
from one year to another.</p>
