if male/female ratio of a college X changed, would that change student GPA?

<p>Females generally get higher GPAs than males. So if you decrease the male/female gender ratio - one might expect GPAs to increase.</p>

<p>But on the other hand - do relationships improve or decrease average GPAs? Maybe it all averages out. They distract some individuals from their studying. But it could sometimes help some people to study as well. </p>

<p>One could think of MIT - which does gender-based affirmative action. What about that?</p>

<p>Females only get higher GPAs because they are overrepresented in easy faculties like arts and education.</p>

<p>This is why GPA numbers are listed in “All-Male Average” and “All-Female Average.”</p>

<p>Heh, that’s kinda sexist, goodusername. But it’s true, too.</p>
