Woman applying to SEAS?

<p>If there an advantage to admissions if you are a woman doing engineering? I haven't been able to find the statistics anywhere for the percentage of women applied and admitted to SEAS.... it says 30% of the class is women but it doesn't say how many women applied and got in.</p>

<p>Yeah, it does hhelp, just as it's easier for a guy to get into nursing.</p>

<p>I don't know how much it helps, though.</p>

<p>I heard that if you're a girl with an 800math on the SAT, you're pretty much in.</p>

<p>...Unless you be butttttt ugly.</p>

<p>:) take my advice for what it's worth. if anything.</p>

<p>i'm pretty sure being a female engineer helps.
I still consider myself lucky for getting in despite being female.</p>

<p>Being female is a big boost--almost double the acceptance rate for males. Even bigger, if you plan to attend grad school for engineering.</p>

<p>interesting..whered you hear that a2npersuas2n ?
and how would they know if you're butt ugly lol?</p>
