<p>And being female is an advantage when applying to an engineering or tech school. What’s your point? I believe that anyone is at a disadvantage when applying to a college that has a lot of that type of student applying. It’s simple supply and demand. It’s also what they call “sculpting the class” to keep it diversified.</p>
<p>How do you know that colleges aren’t looking for actors, journalists, etc.? Just because they’re not recruiting them, doesn’t necessarily mean they’re not looking for them. But there’s no money in it either.</p>
<p>Personally, I think the whole college admissions process is awful. Someone with a perfect GPA and SAT/ACT score can be passed over quite easily at the top schools because of the way it’s carried out, and kids who are good at athletics but have lower scores have a better chance. All I’m saying is that I don’t think Haverford is as biased as some other schools because athletics are not their main focus.</p>
