Well, I think that loosening admission requirements for women at the elite engineering schools is not actually happening. The elite colleges are, however, soaking up all the qualified women. The fact of the matter is that schools like HMC get many more qualified applicants than they have slots for. So they do their best attempt at matching, and at some point the lottery effect kicks in. I don't think unqualified women get accepted to HMC. I don't think unqualified men get accepted to HMC. I do think a higher percentage of the qualified men get turned away.
