How do you know that, of the Caltech applicants, there weren't just more qualified women than men? Women are outperforming men in education across the board.

- mchannon 2y agoBecause I googled it. 58:42 ratio of applicants. While I could accept that the bottom 16 of males and bottom 0 of females are joke applications, these each included a substantial application fee ($75).
- lukas099 2y agoThey wouldn’t have to be joke applications, just worse than the ones that were accepted.
- ghaff 2y agoIt wouldn't be the slightest bit shocking if, on average, men were somewhat more overconfident than women on their ability to get admitted and to the work at an elite technical school. Of course, that doesn't mean the school doesn't also have their thumb on the scales to adjust demographics in various ways.
