<p>As a parent of a girl, I thought it was important to share these types of stats with her when she was applying to colleges. It helpt put things in perspective. Schools that her male friends got into, gave DD a waitlist status, and she was the valedictorian! I encourage other parents of girls to let their daughters know that they may meet or exceed the avg stats for a college will not be a true ‘safety’ because of their gender.The good news is that my DD had great choices, and loves the college she is now attending!</p>
