<p>The acceptance rate of girls AMONG girls will almost always be higher than the acceptance rate of males among males at a school like MIT. It’s a fact that males are generally more into math/science as a whole than females are, statistically speaking (I won’t go into reasons why). That said, the number of females applying is definitely lower than the number of males applying, and since MIT prefers a 50/50 balance of girls and guys admitted, females will naturally have the better acceptance rate.</p>
