Ask Admissions Girl: Is it true that you could be accepted to a school because of your gender?
I don’t know why, but some colleges and universities attract more women than men, or more men than women. This is something to think about when applying to college. The college I attended was about 60% female and 40% male. People always said that the school was “easier for guys to get into” because the admissions office was trying to even the classes out.
Most schools prefer that their gender distribution is about 50-50, but that is not always possible. It has been said that some college take steps to make this distribution a reality. For example, if a male and a female are both equally qualified for one admissions spot in a heavily female school, the male may get the spot over the female. This helps the school increase its male population.
The reality is that when you are applying to college this is not something you should really worry about. Do not ever think, “I won’t get into that school because I am a girl,” or “that school has too many guys already.” Colleges want to admit the most qualified candidates regardless of gender.
