Sexism in College Applications

      There are definitely some problems with unequal treatment in our country.  There is an overemphasis on beauty of women in our society.  They start to spend more time looking pretty rather than getting an education.  There is pressure of women from society to do these things.  There are also bonuses from society for being a smart girl.  Counter Discrimination has gone too far in some cases.

      Women are starting to get into colleges with lower scores than men do.  There are more men who apply for college.  In order to promote “equality,” and a good college atmosphere, colleges try and keep the school 50 50.  This is ridiculous!  They are starting accept women over men with a lower SAT, ACT, and GPA.  It is unfair to men that women have an easier time trying to get into college. 

      The same ease of acceptance also factors in with minorities such as Blacks and Hispanics.  They are more likely to get accepted that a white male with the same scores.  It is just unfair.  There really isn’t much more than that. 

      Acceptance shouldn’t take race or sex into consideration for acceptance.  They should look at your athletics, volunteerism, leadership, G.P.A., and test scores.  Women don’t want to get into college because they are women.  They want to get into a college because they deserve it.  Don’t give women and minorities handouts to get into their college.  Make them work at it, they are just as smart as anyone.
