For my argument I am going to talk about the gender gaps in several universities. For one we can see that here in our own campus at James Madison University. The ratio of males to females is 40%/60%. This is apparently happening in many other universities, therefore making the admissions process different in order to accommodate a certain amount of males that are able to attend a college. A hypothetical situation could be that there is a male trying to apply to JMU that has a 3.5 GPA and then there is a female applying as well with a 3.8 GPA. Who is more likely able to get in easier, the male or the female? Hopefully the female seeing as she has a better standing in academics, but that’s not always the case. The male may get in because the university has to meet a certain standard. They need to admit just enough males to be in good standing with the college board, along with the federal government. So is this fair to just let a male slide on into school just because the school needs meet that number?

Very productive prewriting, Megan, but please note the correct spellings of rebuttal and argument!
