<p>"Gender Breakdown: 70% Male / 30% Female" </p>

<p>I'm just curious..:P</p>

<p>no none will admit to it.</p>

<p>We go through this like once a month. Go look at the common data set. The admit rates for males and females are identical.</p>

<p>What about at MIT?</p>

<p>Do you think they would like to admit african american males more to white males??</p>

<p>The male/female acceptance stats are very similar. Females usually have higher GPAs and males usually have higher SAT scores. </p>

<p>I don’t have any stats to back any of these up, but based on people who post results here: I suspect that race does have an impact, but I haven’t seen any stats that prove or disprove that suspicion. There also seems to be a bias against internationals (internationals tend to require higher stats) but no bias for or against in-state vs. out-of-state students.</p>

<p>As I remember, there was a court case that forbade favoring females or race. My understanding is that they put a lot of emphasis on recruiting qualified URMs. Neither Tech nor UGA favor in-state.</p>
