<p>Yep. And keep in mind that female applications at Swarthmore dwarf male applications. So that gender split in the white cohort is an intentional admissions effort to gender balance the overall student body. It means that white guys face a less daunting admissions challenge than white females. I think that is generally true across the board, although to differing degrees depending on the school.</p>
<p>The best stack of applicants to be in, at least for Swarthmore, is the stack of academically qualified African American males. Those admissions odds are very good – although Barack Obama managed to get rejected.</p>
