Male/female ration

<p>so how much does male/ratio affect admissions? do men have an advantage at colleges that are 60% female?</p>

<p>Male/female ratio*</p>

<p>I hope so. I am a white male.</p>

<p>yes and no... typically there are more females going to college... you'll find that there are more females as opposed to males at any given college... but if you have a 1.0 gpa and a 1400 sat score (new sat)... will u be getting in as oppsed to a female who has a 3.5 gpa with a 1900 SAT score... prob not... but if u had the exact same resume as a female... would guys have the advantage... maybe... just because your a guy... doesn't mean your getting into AU.. a friend of mine (a guy) got rejected with a 1100 sat and a 3.1 gpa... so again you never know...</p>

<p>have any more questions...? feel free to PM me (i'm currently a frosh at AU)</p>

<p>what are the implications of having such a huge amount of females in american compared to males?</p>

<p>in an unrelated note I ALWAYS typo "ratio" as "ration" every single time I type it.</p>

<p>The implications are simply that more females are attending college today than they did years ago. Applicants often look for a 50/50 ratio of male/female students, but the truth is that a 40/60 ratio is normal.</p>

<p>Obviously, if you're a guy, your "chances" of meeting more girls are higher. As for AU women, well, they probably have less luck on-campus, but there is a whole CITY of men surrounding the school. Many girls have boyfriends at GW, etc.</p>
