<p>Well, the title says it all, which one do you guys think is a benefit????</p>
<p>actually, most colleges try to keep it 50:50 between the ration of boys and girls, according to what you see in the college profiles at [College</a> Admissions - SAT - University & College Search Tool](<a href=“http://www.collegeboard.com%5DCollege”>http://www.collegeboard.com).</p>
<p>It depends on your major. Women heading off into the engineering field, for example, are looked upon with more interest. Of course, this doesn’t guarantee anything. </p>
<p>As a joke, my friends and I developed the “perfect applicant” - an African American girl, with Native American lineage, who is the first in her family to go to college, with an intended major in a field of engineering.</p>
<p>
It’s crazy how many scholarships I’ve stumbled upon specifically for women going into engineering…</p>
<p>In general, it helps being male because more females apply to college. Males particularly have an advantage at most LACs, which struggle to maintain at least 40 per cent male.</p>
<p>Males also have the advantage for restricted majors like theater, nursing and education.</p>
<p>Females have the advantage at engineering schools.</p>
<p>^And if you put your intended major as math at a math/sciencey school. Every interview the interviewer mentioned how impressed they were that my intended major was math.</p>
<p>The common data sets provide admissions stats for men and women.</p>
<p>Division I football schools and engineering are a big draw for men. If both are present, Va Tech for example, women are usually in the minority.</p>
<p>^^^ yet that doesnt necessarily mean that they have a better chance, in fact im inclined to believe the opposite.</p>
<p>I think it probably helps if you know how to make contractions, more than it helps if you’re a guy or a girl.</p>
<p>The real secret is getting good grades in high school.</p>
