[quote=Anonymous]This will be a big reach.  I am just trying to be honest with you.  You need to lower her expectations NOW.  DS got into Penn and had a 3.97 from a DC private with near perfect scores and high rigor.  He went to different Ivy.  Graduate school legacy matters very little at Penn.  It is a harder admit for non STEM girls, too.  To increase her chances, I would zero in on a very arcane major (one that they have trouble filling classes for) and write a lot about it in the essays (authentically).  Consider having her apply ROTC, a big booster as a female applicant. Be very specific about what she brings to the Penn community in the essays.  Have her fight to raise that B+ to at least a A-.  AB Calculus just isn’t deemed very hard from a school like Penn’s perspective.  Your daughter is being compared to her classmates (especially other girls) so if there is a hooked classmate or one with a better total package, it will be hard for her to stand out. Find matches and likelies. Good luck![/quote]
