> There is no bias towards admitting females./ They do however emphasize top-of-funnel outreach for women to try to get more to apply. The 266/267 ratio of acceptance letters is probably too good to be true, it's hard to believe they could so perfectly calibrate this outreach program. If the school is spending money recruiting females and not males it demonstrates they're more valued even before starting the application process. That's a bias, and I know at my school that bias which started before the application process extended all the way through the 4 year experience and even into the hiring process where companies have internal numbers to hit. I have a lot of respect for Caltech and they deserve credit for not taking part in the widespread anti-Asian discrimination.
