Yes, according to stats, being a girl applicant to MIT gives you a slight advantage. However, there are always advantages/disadvantages when applying to ANY school as each university wants to create a diverse class. There’s nothing you can do to change that HOWEVER you can choose to work harder, develop a passion, and give yourself an edge over the other applicants.
Unfortunately, favoritism and bias exists everywhere. I can’t even tell you the number of sexist and rude comments I’ve heard in my life for being a girl in STEM. Don’t be resentful because you think your race/gender/location/whatever was the sole reason why you were rejected. You guys are all qualified and amazing applicants and I encourage you guys to continue working hard.
