<p>tokenadult: I asked about whether the Applicant was male or female, not thinking so much about whether a school was hoping to attract females or males, presumably to equalize any gender bias--but rather--I believe this Applicant would be more appealing to any school if she was female. I thought this, because the Applicant is all-American in some sport and also because it appears the Applicant leans towards science and math. If I'm remembering that correctly, I still think those attributes are somewhat rarer in a female Applicant (sad to say); therefore, the female Applicant would be far more appealing and less like every other 1600 science or math male Applicant they see. Also, is this hypothetical Applicant Caucasian? Did you say? I should go back and read Post #16.</p>
