[quote=Anonymous]I don't think the advantage is nearly as great as it used to be. I had a niece that went through this last year with extremely high stats and extracurriculars related to engineering (including awards, etc.) -- I thought she would be a shoe-in, but was denied or waitlisted at all the fancy private engineering schools she applied for, but accepted at several big state schools with excellent engineering programs. The admit rate for the top private engineering schools is so low that it's still basically a crap shoot even for highly qualified girls. It used to be that a girl with stellar credentials was a pretty safe admit at a lot of these engineering schools.[/quote]
