Young men have already picked up on this trend. This is why college attendance is now 60-40 female-male

It’s not because girls have higher grades and test scores (which they do)?

Yeah, I don't think men are suddenly having a hard time getting into state colleges.

My mistake here — they do have higher scores on verbal, but on math they lag boys. However, girls with high math scores tend to have higher verbal scores than boys, which makes them more well-rounded and attractive to colleges.
