Tips for female students

For female students only:

In most college campuses today, male student became an endangered species or a new minority. To balance the undesirable ratio between female and male student, many colleges give a favor to male students in admission process. MSNBC provides an tip on how to spot those colleges: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22687407/

How can you identify the colleges where girls are being admitted at a lower rate than boys?

Each school maintains application and enrollment information in a form called the "common data set." Unfortunately, there's no single Web site that collects the common data sets from all schools. The best way to start is to do an online search using the school name and the term "common data set." If you have no luck, try performing a search with your school's name and the term "institutional research." Every college and
university has an Office of Institutional Research, which produces the common data set.
Once you have the form, you'll have to sort through pages and pages of data. We suggest you check out "SECTION B: ENROLLMENT AND PERSISTENCE" and
"SECTION C: FIRST TIME, FIRST YEAR FRESHMAN ADMISSION." Look at the gender breakdown and you will get a good sense about the percentage of men and women on campus and the percentage of each gender admitted to the school in
question.
