[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]730V/[b]740M s[/b]uperscore-white female, do the AP score make it look better---5/5 calc BC, 5 comp sci A, 5 AP Spanish is this good enough for[b] top engineering[/b]?[/quote]

You must be joking. Look up the pre-TO score ranges at top schools. Look up the SAT %ile breakdowns for math, male v female. Sure males are slightly higher but there are tens of thousands of females who score 770+ on math. There are not enough spots at top schools for all of them, and because they are female they usually have higher grades in HS than corresponding males. Female val and sals are more common than males and females are more likely to be in the top10% of high school Stem is super-trendy especially with girls the past 7-8 years and the top ones often chase ivy+ just like everyone else.
 Read the females in engineering threads. 740 Math is NOT GOOD for ivies/hopkins/stanford/duke. It is borderline for the next tier, Mich/Purdue/UIUC. Even if your kid somehow got in to an ivy+(they won't unless you donate a building or they are a recruited athlete), they will be there with a bunch of super high achieving females and males. Mine is Bioengineering, ivy, got an 800 math, so did most of her ivy friends: they joke about how easy the SAT was compared to math there and how easy calc BC was compared to college calc(though most of them started in multivariable so it is not apples to apples). Bioengineering is 70% female there. Almost all her friends are female engineers. There is no shortage of top-scoring 99th%ile females in stem. 740Math will not cut it for the true top schools.
