gender imbalance in colleges: its impact on admission

<p>I’ve looked into this a bit, as I have a S interested in smaller schools. </p>

<p>The acceptance rates do differ somewhat for men and women at certain schools. American U however is not one of them - I’ve read somewhere that they have such a skewed population because they won’t consider gender in admissions. The female acceptance rate is higher than the male acceptance rate at American.</p>

<p>Vassar on the other hand does seem to give some advantage in admissions to men, attempting to not let the male/female ratio get any less than 40:60. Male acceptance rate 34%, female acceptance rate 21%, overall acceptance rate 25%. </p>

<p>Common Data Sets have the data needed to calculate the difference in admission rates for men and women. This site has the division already done for you, and will give the acceptance rate percentages.
