Magazine Researches Gender Gaps at Colleges

Posted by Kendall Harmon

More women apply to college than men so colleges with selective admissions hope to maintain gender balance by admitting fewer women that men. While just a few decades ago women were not even allowed to enter the nation's most prestigious universities, now collective success of women nationwide may be making women victims of their own success.

Alex Kingsbury of U.S. News & World Report talks to Anthony Brooks about the magazine's research into gender gaps in college admissions.

Listen to it all from NOR's Day to Day program.
