@OHMomof2 The CDS is calculated during fall semester, using the final admit numbers including waitlists, while the initial web page announcement includes only the initial RD (and of course ED) admits.
@LeftofPisa Indeed, looking a sampling of top LACs, boys are accepted at higher rates than girls, sometimes significantly so.
Male:Female Admit Rate Ratio
Pomona: 15.2% / 10.2% = 1.49
Bowdoin: 16.8% / 13.5% = 1.25
Swarthmore: 14.0% / 11.4% = 1.23
Carleton: 25.5% / 20.7% = 1.23
Middlebury: 18.9% / 15.8% = 1.20
Williams: 18.7% / 16.6% = 1.13
Wesleyan: 25.6% / 22.7% = 1.13
Amherst: 15.0% / 13.4% = 1.12
