Is it wrong that all I can think of is something along the lines of it isn't the size that matters...?
Seriously though. Just because there are fewer women signed up now, the number will get bigger closer to recruitment, doesn't mean that it is less competitive. I mean UGA, LSU, and all the Texas schools have smaller numbers than Alabama, but that doesn't make them less competitive. Also should look at percentages.
Right now a little over half of the freshman women are signed up for recruitment if the numbers are right (850/1470 =.578.).
Now with the 2012/2013 class at Alabama being 6,371 and the school reporting 54% female we can estimate that there were around 3440 freshmen women. Now the last number I heard signed up for recruitment this year was 2113.
IF these numbers are any where near correct that would mean that 61% of freshmen women signed up for recruitment.
58% vs 61% not that much difference.
