<blockquote> <p>I don't know ID...then how do you account for schools with tiny minority enrollments that still have lopsided gender enrollments?</p> </blockquote>

<p>Oh, I don't think that's all of it. In fact, I think the extra gender gap among minority groups may just be a more vivid example of the overall trend.</p>
<p>No question that elite colleges get more applications from females and struggle to maintain a 50%/50% balance. Many schools can't get 50/50. I know that many of the schools my daughter looked at were fairly significantly tilted towards women in the applicant pool.</p>
<p>I went to a regional awards dinner for the top 10% of the senior classes at a half dozen local area high schools. We sat and watched as all two billion five hundred kids went up to get their certificates. The line was overwhelmingly female. Shockingly female. I would guess 2 to 1 female.</p>
