Maybe top tech companies don't actually care what you wear to your interview? Maybe the "girls" were better whiteboard coders than the "male students"?

I know it doesn't fit your world view. I'm sorry. They aren't. I've been on teams with both parties. Companies had mentioned dress code for the interviews. You would think punctuality would be important, especially for an interview?

They were filling quotas. Unlucky.

You sure this is a top tech company? What top tech company mentions dress code (beyond something like "don't worry about it")?
