<p>Having all boys, I am well aware of the fact that, in general, girls out-perform boys in high school. This is likely due to maturity as well as girls being more willing to ask for help. </p>
<p>The guestion I haven’t read much about, however, is whether that disparity continues in college. Do the girls continue to do better or do the boys catch up as they mature? I have a feeling there is still a gap (more boyslfunk out or fail to graduate). I doubt these schools are admitting boys that are not capable and if the schools look more carefully they may see that these boys are just as capable as the girls, but just were not as focused on or motivated by getting an A instead of a B. </p>
<p>I also wonder what the difference is between the GPA of an admitted boy and a rejected girl.</p>
