[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be an URM and be female.[/quote]

That didn't work for my daughter's best friend.  I think there are just so many engineering applicants these days that it's incredibly competitive.[/quote]

My engineer has 70% females in his class.  [/quote]

I find this hard to believe. My DD at a T10 engineering school says the dept is only 30% female.

To answer op’s question, she had an 800 on math (770 on verbal), 4.0 uw in most rigorous classes across all academic disciplines , 5s on about 8 AP exams prior to senior year, relevant internship, summer jobs, sports, etc. [/quote]

Mine is at an ivy for engineering that is also a T10 , has the same stats plus some science awards, and The BME and environmental engineering areas are way above 50%. They have overall less than half female in all disciplines, but not by a lot. MechE, EE are the most male dominated but they aim for more of an overall 35-40% since that is similar to the overall applicants BUT the applicants have far more BME females than males —the SWE faculty said male and female balance is easier now and female is not really a boost the last 2 yrs due to how overloaded certain applicant areas are now. CS is close to 50% too. [/quote]
