Nor can one make a judgement without knowing how many girls were in the top 20.
If 2 applied, then I take back my outrage.
I'd be outraged if only 2 applied.
To whomever downvoted, my use of the word "outraged here was in jest :-)
I'd apply if only to outrage you 2.

As politically incorrect as it is to say, the sad fact is that most girls can't actually perform at the level required to get into that program.
Go ahead and downvote me if you must, but I would love to see evidence that this does not have the same explanation power that the typical reasons does.
