Tufts Daily: Women Face Higher Admissions Standards

[Americanski]

<p>

How much preference is acceptable and for what kind of balance of genders? If some day it means it is TWICE as hard for a woman to get in to keep the numbers of men and women in balance, would you accept that? Or is there a limit (e.g., 20% advantage but not 50%?).</p>

<p>How far do you think things will get out of balance given the trends we have seen with girls significantly and increasingly outperforming boys in schools and other college bound activities?

</p>

<p>What advantage are they getting now? There’s no evidence at all that schools are actually lowering their standards to admit men, which is kind of astonishing considering how many of these articles have been written. You’d think they could find at least one school where the average SAT for females was higher and pretend it was representative of a larger trend.</p>
