This is a pure guess, but I think admissions is mostly female.

If that is the case, should we be tailoring our essays for the female perspective?

Yes, you should DEFINITELY cater to a woman's perspective.

If possible, write about flowers, long walks on the beach, shoes, cuddling, and feelings. Women like that.

Definitely do not write about math, science, accomplishments, or tools. Women find those things confusing.

If you get an interview, wear something professional, yet manly. If you're good-looking, it's ok to flirt a little. If you have a good body, wear a shirt that's a little tighter. Think metrosexual. Women love that.

I would avoid catering to any stereotypes regarding what one gender would allegedly prefer in an application.

I would like to thank the individuals above for giving me my comedy relief for the day. I am a proud female and if you showed up to an interview like that, you'd definitely get in!! And be sure to add to your resume/CV that you've had a part-time Chippendale's job. :bebe

Well.... if we can have Reese witherspoon get into Harvard with her video essay, I'm sure some stud male can also try something similar. :D

Leave aside the comments ; the thread topic is hilarious - "Admission's Sex Strategy".

I could have not guessed in a 1000 years what it means without reading the comments.

Ladies LOVE homos, so I'm going to bling out and sing show tunes in response to their questions. I'll probably wear a boa and eye glitter and bring pictures of my little dog dressed in the CUTEST outfits. Obvi we'll gab about our bfs too!

Well, what replies did you expect with a topic like this? "As often as work allows?" :wink:
