<p>There are specific types of schools girls can benefit applying to where there are fewer girls applying overall. These mainly fall under the engineering category rather than STEM where the schools have a shortage of female applicants.</p>
<p>Liberal Arts colleges are on the other extreme where way too many girls are applying and as it it stands many LACs are closer to 56-58% female. So male applicants will benefit from applying to LACs.</p>
<p>Public universities are getting over 50% female since many of them are accepting strictly based on academic credentials. So there is a lot more competition for female applicants in schools where they are trying to keep the ratio of male to female equal by some arbitrary balancing. I would suggest William and Mary is definitely in this category.</p>
