<p>I've heard that it is easier for girls to get into MIT than boys...is this true for all HYPSM and ivy league schools to some extent?</p>
<p>Bump 10 char</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>Please read any of the other 70 threads on this topic if you would like to know why.</p>
<p>No. For non-tech schools, it’s the opposite. If you look at the gender ratio for a school, the gender that is less than %50 of school (if it isn’t 50:50), that will be the gender they will admit more easily. Even with an imbalance, however, some schools push for a more even ratio more than others.</p>
<p>It depends more on the major than the school. A female interested in computer science stands out, for example. (Not necessarily for MIT, but yeah.)</p>
<p>whats bump 10 char? (im new to cc)</p>
<p>‘bump’ means that you’re annoyed that your thread hasn’t gotten responses yet, so you’re making it go to the top of the page</p>
<p>‘10char’ is because your message isn’t allowed to be less than 10 characters in length.</p>
<p>People bump threads that do not get responses, but threads that have asked questions that have been asked and answered a thousand times tend not to get responses. Those folks too lazy to use the search facility tend to be ignored.</p>
