<p>rmldad - my impression is that as a percentage, more women may get admitted to MIT and Caltech but those who apply as well as those who are admitted show the kind of passion for research and technology that are in no way inferior to the men applying. They just have a better shot since fewer women apply and have gone onto do amazing things after MIT or Caltech.</p>
<p>You should see some of the resumes of the women that have been rejected. I don’t believe they are any less qualified either but MIT has to draw a line somewhere.</p>
