We started off with 4 guys.

Two were coming through on the second try.

All 4 didn't make it...though one that was doing well academically that dropped out for an unknown reason.

I'm not sure out of my whole graduating class what the actual ratio of men to women is but in one of my classes its 5 men to 25 women and in one of my clinicals its 2 men to 6 women. I don't know if that is the same ratio in the other classes but that's all I have to go on at the moment.

We started out with 4 guys, including me, in a class of 75 or so. We lost 2 and picked up 1 from our mobility program. We finished with 3 guys to around 60 ladies.

Class of eighty students, eight of us are males, graduating 2011. Half of us are normal college students, the others are ex-military. We don't really associate with each other (any of the males) which is unfortunate... but in a school that has a general population that is seventy-five percent male, maybe we are just taking a break from dudes

I'm surprised at some of the low numbers I'm seeing on here!

48 of us were accepted last fall and there are 18 or so guys. Over a third of my program is comprised of male students-- I would hate being in a program that was so heavily female dominated! It's a nice mix and allows for different perspectives.
