<p>Olin’s Admission Office Receives Record Number of Applications
As of January 10, the Admission Office had received 776 applications from prospective students, a new record that topped the previous high of 664 by a considerable margin…Of the 776 applicants, 583 are men, 188 are women, and five did not designate a gender.</p>
<p>Interesting numbers there, conundrum. Where did you find that info?</p>
<p>This information comes from Olin’s campus wide E-Bulletin, “The Link.”</p>
<p>The numbers that conundrum gave are not set in stone, I don’t think. That is probobly the number of applicants that they recieved atlease some credentials from. I only say this because looking at “Emily’s Blog” (The Olin admission blog) she says that they don’t have a number yet, but she is guessing that they will end up with “more than 700.”</p>
<p>The number of women applicants is so much smaller than the male applicants. </p>
<p>Anyone here have any ideas on how Olin could increase the number of female applicants?</p>
<p>makes me wish I wasn’t a guy</p>
<p>i am an olin freshman, and i was actually talking with someone about this last night. supposedly, female students tend to be more self-selecting; that is, they generally only apply to olin if they are very confident in their abilities. Male students on the other hand, do not tend to do the initial self-selection as much, and that is a reason why there are more male applicants. good luck everyone!</p>
