For the schools where the enrollment is so skewed toward more women, I am assuming it is because more women apply with better grades - actually, more women probably apply, period (certainly true at Vassar, which would love more boys).
To Private Joker: I don’t see getting into college as a measure of women’s success. It is just 4 more years of school their parents and they pay for. I think women’s success has to be measured by how many good jobs they hold in their fields. There are still many more male partners in law firms, banks, business, govenrment, etc., no matter where anybody went to school.
