I'm getting the impression that vettobe is just trolling?

UC Davis definitely has no preference. I checked both the CO 2014 and 2015 stats:

• 2014:
  Female % accepted: 12.3%
  Male % accepted: 13.4%

• 2015:
  Female % accepted: 12.6%
  Male % accepted: 13.5%

Ok, well, I lied. If you are male, then your odds of getting in are a whopping 1% better. Of course this is only one school, not claiming this applies to every one.

OT but I have to ask now that I've seen it too many times. What the hell is 'trolling'. Is that just when someone posts something to spice up the boards under a fake name?
