I disagree. The fact that Cornell or any other school has achieved gender parity or close to it is not evidence that young women are not in demand. The numbers are what they are. The numbers of males majoring in engineering in colleges across the country is 3-4 times the number of females majoring in engineering. So, that means that Cornell or anyone else has a smaller pool of engineering candidates to draw from and that the small number of females are therefore in greater demand.
What the Cornell example does tell us is that colleges want to achieve gender equity. Therefore, when we look at the law of supply and em and, we know 2 things for certain. The supply of females is low and the demand for them is high. Therefore, I stick by my original statement that this applicant, who brings superb credentials to the admissions process will be in high demand.
