    Just read an article on this, will post the link later. The female-male ratio is getting to be 60-40 nowadays in American colleges, for blacks it is even 2 females for every black male student.

    The admission committees have a problem because there are way more worthy female applicants, but universities don't really want to screw up the already female heavy ratio, so they reject more girls and let in boys with less points.

    Questions arise, should we worry about this tendency, whan can be done and what is the reason behind this???

    Here is the article:

    Grades don't matter. Equality all the way!

    Or something like that.
