Back in 2017, a couple fellow students and I created something very similar as our final project in the coding school we attended.

Most times for me this is a habit due to e-mail profanity filters.

I never "search" for things. I "google" them.
Re:Marissa Mayer at 2011 Harvey Mudd Commencement on Monday May 23, 2011 @07:34PM (#2578026)
Yea it is interesting. I guess there is a chance that this works in the long term. In other words, with a 50% female ratio, more girls start applying to standards are able to be raised. And maybe even some smart guys come because of the favorable ratio. But I am really worried about the performance of the graduates in the short term.

I agree that is it good to see that the ratio is balancing but I worry about the cost of this. The applicant breakdown is not 52% female, so should the admitted students and accepted students be this high? I worry that since not many girls apply to a school like Harvey Mudd, they are having to lower the standards of acceptance in order to achieve this high female ratio.
