在麻省理工学院, 加州理工学院, 卡耐基梅隆大学录取数据中,可以看到女学生不只是录取比率高于男生.就连录取人数都高于男学生.再看看佐治亚理工学院和伦斯勒理工学院的录取数据,虽然录取男学生人数高于女学生.但是录取比率女学生还是站优势的.所以数据呈现女性申请人是有优势.
哪假如女儿现是商科生,转去申请理工系,是不是就录取名校的胜劵在握了?
也不是
美国名校采取Holistic Review (全面审核)方式选取学生.他们重要关注的点是学生在校成绩(GPA),标化考试成绩(SAT/ACT/SAT2),课外活动,个人成就,个人陈述.等等.每个学校的审核基本政策还有不同.

麻省理工最看重申请人的人格/个人性质(Character/Personal Qualities), 卡梅最看重高中课程难度,班上排名,高中成绩,标化考试成绩,课外活动,志愿者工作,工作经验.在这些基础上再看学生是不是女性申请人.所以光是性别站在优惠政策上不够.需要整体准备的好.必须在总体指标跟男性竞争对手在伯仲之间或者比男性竞争对手差距不大, 女性申请人才能脱颖而出.
男性学生申请文科的优势是大部分中国男学生申请理工科,因此招生官会多考虑录取.但是前提是申请人跟其他录取同学差距不大.
假如女同学是初三高一阶段对理工科有兴趣,建议规划参加美国数学比赛AMC, 美国物理碗, 国际基因工程机器竞赛iGEM(International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition),国际脑神经科学大赛（International Brain Bee）,丘成桐中学科学奖之类型比赛,提升申请竞争力.
