Easier for boys or girls?

[housecat1234]

<p>I’m the only person who has posted statistics in this thread, but apparently no one looked at them (or perhaps people just don’t want to believe them), so I will post them again.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>There are nearly twice as many boys as girls who score above 750 on the Math SAT.</p>

<p>There are over twice as many boys as girls who score an 800 on Math</p>

<p>There are also slightly more boys than girls who score in the 700s on Critical Reading, and this discrepancy grows as you move towards 800.</p>

<p>A 1420 is at the 98th percentiles for girls but only at the 96th percentile for boys.</p>

<p>Now is it clear to everyone that it is more difficult to get into the top colleges if you are a boy?</p>

<p>Of course boys have an easier time getting into lower ranked colleges (simply because there are more girls applying), but that is not what this thread is about.</p>
