It’s not because girls have higher grades and test scores (which they do)?

[DangitBobby]

Yeah, I don't think men are suddenly having a hard time getting into state colleges.

Higher test scores? On which tests?

[gnicholas]

My mistake here — they do have higher scores on verbal, but on math they lag boys. However, girls with high math scores tend to have higher verbal scores than boys, which makes them more well-rounded and attractive to colleges.

>Should it be expected or disheartening that proportionally 45% more males are in the 1400-1600 score range than females?

I don't think that's true either
