2- I think it’s a boost and you’re a girl too. Thus as long as you have average stats for Mudd, I think you have a very high chance of getting in as an ED female.

3- I’m not sure about the interviews because I never had one. If you can’t get one then I wouldn’t worry too much because I think loads of people here never got an interview. Yes, you can definitely sit in on classes, especially the larger lectures. I see it happen frequently.

4-It’s really not 70-30. It’s more like 60-40. For some reason, my class was ridiculosuly bad and is around 80-20 (■■■■). But, I don’t really notice it that much. There’s plenty of times where I’ll be hanging out with a group and I’ll suddenly realize “whoa, there’s more than 50% girls in this group.” You won’t be singled out at all as a girl. There will be plenty of jokes, probably, but you won’t be singled out for it. And Mudd is the kind of place where you won’t be left out of any group for anything… race, sex, religion, etc etc. I know at most other colleges people stay with people like themselves, but that doesn’t happen at all at Mudd.

Oh yeah… and that whole “the odds are good, but the goods are odd” saying is wrong. There are plenty of unnatractive guys here, sure, but there are still dozens of good-looking, non-weird, guys. Mudd is about half nerds, and half normal dudes with a hidden layer of nerdness.

And also, the girls aren’t that great. Sorry, but it’s true. The jock guys usually go after girls from Scripps and friendzone girls at Mudd.

This is all from the perspective of a male frosh, by the way.
