[quote=Anonymous]I think girls have had higher grades and lower scores (still true) than boys for decades. Most colleges are looking for gender balance so some my favor whatever gender they perceive to be underrepresented in their pool. Your daughter(s) could, of course, apply to women’s colleges. If your question is how do non-STEM girls stand out in the college application process, the answer is (1) do something competitively (debate, sports, music, Scholastic arts or writing awards) and win state or national recognition and/or (2) blaze their own trail and do something interesting and worthwhile. But honestly your high-stats girl is going to have no problem getting into a good college. You just can’t name the school in advance and you can’t assume it’ll be one of the hardest to get into. That’s true for pretty much anyone.[/quote]
