<p>In THEORY:</p>
<p>Engineering, Math, Physics (and related fields), and sometimes Chemistry attract significantly more males, so females get a slight to moderate advantage.</p>
<p>Business and Economics attract slightly more males, so females get a very slight advantage.</p>
<p>Biology (and related fields) and Environmental Science attract slightly more females, so males get a very slight advantage.</p>
<p>English, psychology, culture-related fields, languages, history, and the arts/music attract significantly more females, so males get a slight to moderate boost. </p>
<p>In general, female students outnumber males at college and in college admissions, so it’s likely that as this trend continue, males will begin to recieve boosts in more and more fields (not just the traditionally female-dominated ones).</p>
<p>IN REALITY:
If you get into a major at a top college, 99% odds your gender had no effect on your admissions decision. In 1%, it had a slight or moderate effect and you were still incredibly qualified and lucky. I’m sorry to say that your genitials will not get you into Harvard.</p>
