[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally I would EA Princeton RD Penn for high caliber applicants.  but the choice is highly personal.[/quote]

Is my DD considered high caliber? Not fishing for compliment...I thought she would be considered average strong. She is top 5 kids at a well respected feeder private that sends kids to these schools, but all she has is academics + being well liked by teachers.[/quote]

Any state-level or national awards? Tough major in terms of saturation.[/quote]

No awards. Her school does't have a big competition culture. She's captain of the robotics team but it only has 8 kids and they haven't won anything. [/quote]

It all depends on the competition in her cohort, presuming one gets in every year. But I would say fitting no institutional priority, no awards, saturated STEM major means Princeton is highly unlikely. There's always a tiny chance, but the chances are probably the same SCEA and RD. I agree apply to Penn ED if she'd be happy there, and RD the others. [/quote]

2-3 from her school get in every year to each of those 3 schools, but I suspect some/most are legacy or athletes[/quote]

Then her odds are decent, presuming one usually gets in unhooked. I'm risk-averse, so I wouldn't try for Princeton but if your DD has her heart set on it, you could try. Still a shot at getting into Penn RD, and CMU is likely.[/quote]

OP: do you mean CMU is likely for chemistry major? I'm assuming you didn't mean AI (CompSci)?[/quote]
